Grinding Stone Characteristics
Grinding stones are abrasive tools used for many tasks including sharpening, deburring and grinding materials like concrete, stone, glass, ceramic, porcelain, gemstones and non-ferrous metals. They come in different grits such as 6-grit (super coarse), 36-grit, 80-grit and 120-grit which determines the coarseness or fineness of the grinding surface. Common sizes are 2” x 2” x 8” and 4” x 2” x 2” arbor size. Made from high quality industrial abrasives like silicon carbide these grinding stones are tougher than aluminum oxide points and are designed for extended use so you get durability and efficiency in your projects.
Applications for Concrete
Grinding stones are good for many applications from removing concrete surfaces and stilt marks to sharpening edges on tiles and engraving on glass. Used in construction, manufacturing and crafting industries. Compatible with power tools like power trowels and Dremel attachments grinding stones will give you a high quality finish on many materials. Whether you’re working on concrete, stone, glass or ceramics these versatile tools are for deburring and grinding so they’re a must have in your tool box.
Choosing the Right Grinding Stone
Choosing the right grinding stone depends on the material you’re working on, the coarseness or fineness you need and the tool you’re using. For example, a 6-grit grinding stone is good for removing large amounts of material and a 120-grit stone is better for fine tuning and polishing. The arbor size of the grinding stone also matters; larger stones are good for large areas and smaller stones are good for detailed work. Make sure it’s compatible with your tool, whether it’s a power trowel or a Dremel attachment, and note that specific stone holders or other components may be required for best results.
Maintenance and Care of Grinding Stones
To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your grinding stones, regular maintenance and care are essential. After each use, inspect the grinding stone for wear and tear, and clean it thoroughly with a wire brush or a soft cloth to remove any debris or residue. Proper storage is also crucial; keep your grinding stone in a dry, secure location, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent damage or degradation.
For coarse grinding stones, using a medium-grit stone as an intermediate step can help maintain the surface and prevent excessive wear. Fine grinding stones, on the other hand, require more frequent cleaning and maintenance, as they are more prone to clogging and damage. When using grinding stones for concrete removal, it is ideal to use a surface preparation tool to ensure a smooth, even surface.
Regularly review and inspect your concrete grinding stones for signs of wear, and replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance. When purchasing grinding stones, make sure to select the correct arbor size and grit for your specific application, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and maintenance.
