9.8 Choosing the Right Diamond Tool for the Application
Using the correct diamond tooling for a specific application is the most important part of
ensuring productivity and an acceptable cost per square foot (lifespan) for the specific tool.
With that said, predicting which tool to use is probably the most difficult thing to do because
concrete surfaces are so variable from one pour to the next and depending on the surface
strength or the strength and composition of topical materials (thin-set, patch, adhesive, etc.)
the variation from one material to the next can cause the diamond tooling to be affected in
any number of ways.

Note: There are many different conditions that will be encountered when preparing a
concrete slab. The above is a general list of those conditions. There is no substitute for
experience and observation when it comes to determining exactly which diamond design will
work in a given application.
