Grinding problems are usually tooling or technique issues rather than defects in the concrete. Yes, you can abrade quartz or granite floors with diamond tooling, but not with the same soft-bond discs used on concrete. Start at 30/60 grit stage metal, then resin pads through 500-3000 grit stage.
For machine-matched tooling, browse our 3'' Metal Bond Diamond Grinding Disc with 4 Segments range.What you should know before starting.
Granite and quartz are hard and relatively non-abrasive, so a soft concrete bond wears away before new diamonds emerge — the disc glazes.
Contractors who skip this stage usually end up redoing the floor.
The key points in practice.
For floors, a hard-bond trapezoid disc matched to your plate system gives predictable life.
This is where most crews get it right - or lose time.
A closer look at the details.
Wet abrading is standard for granite and engineered quartz.
Getting this part right saves a full re-pass later.
What you should know before starting.
Contractors who skip this stage usually end up redoing the floor.
The key points in practice.
Concrete discs are soft-bonded to wear fast on abrasive cementitious material.
This is where most crews get it right - or lose time.
A closer look at the details.
Wet stone burnishing uses 3-4 inch resin pads on a backing holder, worked 50 → 3000 grit stage under a constant water trickle.
Getting this part right saves a full re-pass later.
What you should know before starting.
Marble and terrazzo are softer — switch to a softer bond and finer grit stages, and never use aggressive metal discs designed for granite on marble.
Contractors who skip this stage usually end up redoing the floor.
The key points in practice.
For stone floors, run 50, 100, 200 metal or hybrid, then 400, 800, 1500, 3000 resin wet.
This is where most crews get it right - or lose time.
A closer look at the details.
Terrazzo with epoxy resin matrix can heat-crack; keep water flowing during burnishing.
Getting this part right saves a full re-pass later.
What you should know before starting.
Older terrazzo or granite floors can be restored the same way: abrade off scratch marks, densify or seal, burnish to mirror finish.
Contractors who skip this stage usually end up redoing the floor.
The key points in practice.
Before committing tooling to a stone floor, abrade a hidden patch.
This is where most crews get it right - or lose time.
A closer look at the details.
Wet stone abrading requires a steady but not flooding water feed.
Getting this part right saves a full re-pass later.
A: The practical answer is, Yes, but swap to hard-bond stone discs. Concrete discs glaze instantly.
A: For most jobs, Resin pads work for both, but stone pads are frequently formulated for wet use and higher mirror finish.
A: In short, Yes, with wet diamond pads on a backing holder, worked from 50 to 3000 grit stage.
A: The practical answer is, The bond is too soft — it is wearing before diamonds break out. Switch to a hard matrix for stone.
