A floor polishing or grinding pad assembly is provided. In one aspects a polishing or grinding pad assembly employs a flexible pad, a reinforcement layer or ring, and multiple floor-contacting tools such as disks. In yet another aspect, at least one of the floor-contacting tools has a workpiece-contacting bottom plane having angle offset from that of a base surface of the tool, a flexible pad and/or a flexible reinforcement layer. A further aspect employs a smaller set of disks alternating between and/or offset from a larger set of the disks.

A grinding wheel used for grinding of a work piece is provided. The grinding wheel includes a circular disc-shaped base having a fixed end surface in contact with a mount of grinding apparatus and a free end surface on the opposite side to the fixed end surface, and plural abrasive stone chips arranged in a ring manner on the free end surface of the base. The abrasive stone chips are each formed into a block shape having a surface in which two or more kinds of plate-shaped abrasive stone members containing abrasive grains and a binder are exposed to the outside by overlapping the two or more kinds of abrasive stone members. The surfaces exposed to the outside in the abrasive stone chips serve as grinding processing surfaces that get contact with the work piece.

A floor polishing or grinding pad assembly is provided. In one aspect, a polishing or grinding pad assembly employs a flexible pad, a reinforcement layer or ring, and multiple floor-contacting tools such as abrasive disks. In another aspect, the reinforcement layer includes a wavy or undulating internal edge shape. A further aspect includes an inner ring edge having radially extending slots between pairs of radially enlarged tool mounting peaks. Still another aspect includes an insulator or spacer between a head of an abrasive tool and a reinforcement ring.

A floor polishing or grinding pad assembly is provided. In one aspect, a polishing or grinding pad assembly employs a fibrous pad, a reinforcement layer or ring, and multiple floor-contacting disks. In another aspect, the reinforcement layer includes a central hole through which the fibrous pad is accessible and the fibrous pad at the hole has a linear dimension (x) greater than a linear dimension (y) of one side of the adjacent reinforcement layer. In yet another aspect, at least one of the floor-contacting disks has an angle () offset from that of a base surface of the disk, the fibrous pad and/or the reinforcement layer. A further aspect employs a smaller set of disks alternating between and/or offset from a larger set of the disks. In another aspect, the reinforcement layer includes a wavy or undulating internal edge shape.

An apparatus for grinding a concrete floor surface, in order to perform grinding with a manual, a pullable or a ride-on concrete trowel machine is provided. The apparatus comprises a concrete trowel organ to be used with the concrete trowel machine and a diamond grinding arrangement, such as one or several diamond disks or like, to be coupled in connection with the concrete trowel organ removably by means of a fastening arrangement. The fastening arrangement for coupling the diamond grinding arrangement in connection with the concrete trowel organ comprises a fastening frame, being in connection with the diamond grinding arrangement that exits on a scrubbing surface of the concrete trowel organ, and a fastening part extending from the fastening frame and, while going through the concrete trowel organ, getting supported against a back surface of the same.

The present invention is provided with a grinding block of dry grinding machine for grinding concrete and granite, the grinding block is assembled to a mill of the grinding machine, the grinding block comprises a fixing plate to fix the grinding block to the mill, wherein the fixing plate is welded with a grinding media, the grinding media comprises a plurality of grinding pieces, the grinding pieces are connected by a connecting strip or connecting strips arranged with space, the connecting strips with spaces divide with a plurality of air passages between two grinding pieces.

A grinding tool includes a substrate having a working surface, and a plurality of abrasive particles distributed over the working surface and protruding outward from the working surface, wherein at least some of the abrasive particles are machined to form abrasive particles respectively having an obliquely truncated pyramid shape. Some embodiments described herein also include a method of manufacturing the grinding tool.

A drive plate for a concrete or stone grinding/polishing machine includes one or more abrasive elements in the form of short sintered metal bars having diamond crystals mixed therein. Due to the triangular profile of the abrasive elements, as the drive plate is rotated by a drive motor and the apex of the triangular abrasive element engages the floor surface being treated, the abrasive elements are able to more readily strip off mastic, sealers, glue, or most any thin film topical coating present on concrete or other hard floors.

A grinding wheel includes an annular base having a free end portion and a plurality of segment grindstones fixed on the free end portion of the annular base in a state of being spaced from one another in a circumferential direction. The plurality of segment grindstones are divided into a plurality of grindstone groups each including a predetermined number of segment grindstones. Each of the segment grindstones included in each of the grindstone groups has a grinding surface formed into a rectangular shape having a long side and a short side. The segment grindstones of the grindstone group are sequentially fixed on the free end portion of the annular base from an outer circumferential side toward an inner circumferential side such that directions in which the long sides of the segment grindstones extend are changed from the circumferential direction to a diametric direction of the free end portion.

The present disclosure provides a carrier disk for holding at least one cutting, grinding or polishing element in a floor grinding machine. The carrier disk comprises a carrier body having a downwardly exposed face, at which the grinding element is arranged, a opening formed in the carrier body and a plurality of flanges extending axially from the carrier body and between the opening and a radially outer edge of the carrier body.
