How to Improve Concrete Floor Grinding?

2021-12-07

If you're new to concrete grinding, I'm sure you've realized that it can be a lot more complicated that it appears. There are so many factors that can affect the final outcome so being prepared and having a few tips can be incredibly beneficial. The following tips are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding effective grinding. These tips will help you start the job and complete it successfully.

First, make sure you are using the correct diamond tooling with the appropriate bond hardness for the floor you’re grinding. This can make or break the efficiency of your grinding job. Using the wrong tooling will end up in your tooling glazing over, or prematurely wearing out. You’ll end up having to spend a lot more on tooling than you should, and it will take up a lot more of your time.

If you are using a multi-directional grinder, reverse the spinning direction of your heads from time to time to reopen your diamond tooling. This will help you to get as much out of your tooling as you can. This will also help to prevent scratches and inconsistent wear patterns.

If your diamond tooling has glazed over or become ineffective, bring it to a new part of the concrete and begin grinding to re-open the diamonds. This can be especially effective when removing adhesives or coatings.

Leave your dust collector on a lower power setting so that the dust can accumulate under the machine. That will allow some of the particles to help open your diamond tooling. This can also be very useful when removing a very sticky adhesive, because the dust mixes with the adhesive residue so it’s not as sticky. This helps to keep your diamond tooling cleaner and performing their best.

Whether you’ve been grinding concrete for years or it’s your first day on the job, there’s always room to improve your skills so that when unexpected issues arise, you are prepared to deal with them effectively.  DTS Diamond Tools focuses on the production of diamond tools for concrete floor.
