GRINDING DISCS AND PADS

Diamond Grinding Discs

Grinding discs efficiently grind all types of concrete, masonry, brick, block and stone. Use medium grit discs for basic grinding and removal and fine grit discs for a smoother finish. Larger grit diamonds (25/30 & 40/50) can be used for faster initial grind and quicker aggregate exposure as needed.

Wet Resin Polishing Pads

Hard wet resin polishing pads combine the benefits of resin and its ultra smooth finish with the longevity of diamonds. Wet resin discs last up to four times longer than dry discs when used correctly with water. Three-inch are available in 50 through 3000 grits and 5-in. are available in 50 through 400 grits.

Dry Resin Polishing Pads

Dry resin polishing pads can produce a mirror finish quickly and easily. Available in 800, 1500 and 3000 grits.
