Resin Bonds

Diamond Polishing Pads - Resin Heavy Duty for Concrete and Stone Grinding and Honing

Resin-bonded pads are primarily used for polishing the concrete surface. They are made of a resin backing with diamond segments embedded in them. The resin backing is softer than the metal backing on metal-bonded pads, which makes resin-bonded pads less aggressive and better suited for polishing. Resin-bonded pads come in different grit levels, allowing for gradual refinement of the surface.

During operation, guide the stone floor grinder across the floor in straight lines. Each line will slightly overlap the last. Maintain a constant speed. Your movement speed should correlate to the necessary time each tool needs depending on their grit size.  Avoid vibrations.  When working dry, check the floor surface periodically for dust accumulation. Check regularly to see if you’re vacuum works properly. Do not stop the machine while tools are still running as they will mark the surface of the floor.  

Stopping the Machine -  Stop the machine gradually until the motor completely stops. Never stop moving the floor machine before the motor comes to a stop.
