Definition

Diamond cup wheels are diamond tools bonded with metal and diamond segments welded along a pressed metal wheel body, which appears in a cup shape. These cup wheels are suitable for breaking down heavy building materials like concrete, granite, and marble.

Use

Diamond grinding cup wheels are used in different-roughness grindings. For coarse grinding, the bond should be softer and the diamonds' quality should be higher, because in this case the diamonds become blunt more easily. The diamond grit should be bigger, normally from 35 grit to 50 grit. For this is coarse grinding and big grit can improve working efficiency. The diamond concentration can be lower.

For fine grinding (sometimes called "polishing"), the bond should be harder and the diamonds' quality can be lower, as in this case the diamonds can last longer and a hard bond can also help the precision of the process. The diamond grit is normally between 80 grit and 120 grit, depending on the grinding requirements. The diamond concentration should be higher.

After being ground, the material can be further polished with resin-bonded diamond polishing pads of different diamond grits.

Classification

Some of the characteristics to classify the diamond cup wheels include bond, grit, concentration, and hardness. All these hugely determine the type of diamond cup wheels to use. For instance, when choosing the cup wheel for a concrete surface, you should consider going for a soft bond while dealing with the hard ground. In contrast, hard bond works best with soft ground. It shows that knowing the exact diamond cup wheel suitable for your project is crucial.
