Diamond selection
The following section covers important factors to
consider when selecting the diamond segment you are
going to use for a given application.
Grinding disc set-up
The way diamond segments are set-up on the grinding
heads of the machine will also greatly infl uence the
performance of the machine, the productivity levels
and also the fi nished fl oor quality .
There are basically two types of diamond confi gura-
tions that can be used when using the grinder:
1. Full set of diamonds – when there are diamonds
placed
at each of the six positions on the diamond holder
discs
(see pictures above).
2. Half set of diamonds – when there are diamonds
placed
at three alternating positions on the diamond holder
discs (see pictures above).
Generally speaking, the faster a diamond segment
wears, the faster the productivity will be. By varying the
above factors, changes can also be made to effect the
following:
Scratch pattern.
Current draw of machine.
Flatness of fl oor (see next section).
Ease of operation.
