Concrete grinding

For standard concrete grinding, the hardness of the concrete (according to Moh’s scratch test) determines which tool series to use: from S for soft concrete to XX for extremely hard concrete. Uneven or weak concrete causes more wear on the tools. Check the tools for wear after 10 minutes. Tool wear should not exceed 1 mm. in 30 minutes.
