Granite Grinding

A granite diamond cup grinder is a specialized tool designed for shaping, smoothing, and polishing hard, abrasive materials like granite. While similar to cup grinders used for concrete, they differ based on the characteristics of granite and other natural stones.

Features of Granite Diamond Cup Grinding

Granite is a material with high hardness and density. Therefore, the tools used to process it must be extremely durable and effective. The main features of granite diamond cup grinders are:

• Diamond Segment Quality: The diamond segments used for cutting granite are of very high quality and hardness. These segments are designed to match the characteristics of the granite matrix.

• Bond Matrix: The metal binders of cup grinders designed for granite are typically made of specialized alloys hardened to withstand the abrasive properties of granite. This allows the diamonds to be exposed at the right rate and cut efficiently.

• Number and Shape of Segments: Granite cup grinders can have more segments to provide a smoother finish. Specially designed segment shapes can also be used to generate less heat and prevent cracking.

• Wet or Dry Use: Many granite cup grinders are suitable for both wet and dry use. Wet grinding helps control dust, reduce frictional heat, and extend disc life.

Areas of Use

Granite diamond cup grinding wheels are widely used in the stone processing industry and the construction industry, especially:

• Smoothing Granite Slabs and Countertop Surfaces: Removing irregularities on the surface of granite slabs and making them smoother.

• Edge Shaping and Profiling: Rounding the edges of granite kitchen countertops, tombstones or pavers or shaping them to the desired profile.

• Post-Cutting Burr Removal: Cleaning and smoothing the rough edges left after a granite slab is cut.

• Restoration: Removing stains, scratches or imperfections from old granite surfaces.
