Problem solving 

 

Diamond Grinding has many variables. When you understand some of these, you 

can solve many problems without a lot of bother and expense. 

 

 

 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

REMEDY 

WHAT IS IT DOING? 

Machine will not 

start / run. 

No power is present at 

cable end. 

Check the power is present 

with another tool. 

Using another tool confirms 

power is present 

Machine is trying to start 
on glue or other sticky 

substance. 

Clear a patch with a scraper 
and grind into the glue a little 

at a time. 

This means it only tackles a 
small amount of glue at a 

time and keeps the glue 
residue coated with dust, 

preventing glue build-up on 
the diamonds. 

Power lead is too small in 
capacity or too long.  

Upgrade the power lead to 
2.5mm² (20 meters) max or 

4mm² (50 meters max). 

The long / small capacity 
cable is too restrictive and 

can’t allow enough power 
through for the machine to 

start / run properly. 

Machine is not 
grinding at all. 

No blade / accessories in 
unit. 

Fit blade

. Note; check wear on 

machine.

 

 

Very hard concrete or 

glazed topping on 
concrete. 

Turn dust extractor down / 

restrict flow. Only just control 
the dust from escaping. 

The extra dust accumulating 

on the floor acts as an 
abrasive between the 
segments and the floor thus 

exposing the diamonds 
better. 

Place river sand or equivalent 

on the floor. 

The sand is an abrasive as 

described above. 

Use softer grade of diamond 
tooling. 

The softer grade will expose 
the diamonds better. 

Use coarser diamond tooling.  The coarser diamond tooling 

can get through the hard 

topping without wearing out 
the diamonds too fast. 

The diamonds 

are wearing out 
too fast. 

The concrete is: 

*Soft 
*Abrasive  

*Rain Damaged 
*A rough finish 
(Scarified). 

Use a powerful dust extractor 

to remove as much dust as 
possible. 

The dust, as described acts 

as an abrasive between the 
segments exposing the 

diamonds prematurely, 
wasting them. 

Use harder diamond matrix. 

The harder segments don’t 
expose as easily. 

Use tooling with more 

segments or area² of 
segment. 

The tooling with more 

segments or area² doesn’t 
have the same weight on 

them, reducing wear.
