Why Diamond Cup Wheel Segment Shapes Matter A Practical Guide by JDR Diamond Tools
Diamond cup wheels When choosing a diamond cup wheel, many users focus on grit size or bond type—but segment shape is just as critical. The geometry of each segment directly affects grinding speed, surface finish, heat control, and tool life . At JDR Diamond Tools , we design different segment profiles to match real-world grinding challenges across concrete, stone, and construction materials. Here’s how each segment shape works—and when to use it. Single-Row Segments – Fast, Aggressive Grinding Single-row diamond cup wheels are built for maximum material removal . With fewer segments making contact, grinding pressure is concentrated, allowing the wheel to cut aggressively into the surface. Best applications: Rapid concrete leveling Removing thick mortar, adhesives, or coatings First-stage surface preparation Performance highlight: High grinding speed with strong cutting action, ideal for productivity-driven jobs. Double-Row Segments – Balanced Performance Double-row segment designs of...
