Diamond Grinding
This method utilizes planetary floor grinders equipped with steel grinding segments infused with man-made diamonds to flatten a concrete slab, while profiling the surface for sealer or thin-mil coating systems. Other tooling can be attached to the machines in order to perform tasks such as honing, polishing, and also adhesive and coating removal.
