Magnetic Grinding Shoes

Magnetic grinding shoes offer a fast, tool-free segment change system for professional concrete grinding contractors across Australia and internationally. Compatible with a wide range of floor grinding machines, they deliver consistent cutting performance for grinding, coating removal, and surface preparation on hard-to-soft concrete.

Our range covers multiple segment shapes – including rectangle, hexagon and button – across super soft, soft, medium and hard options and grit sizes from 16 to 120. Whether you're removing a heavy coating or refining a surface before polish, there's a segment matched to your concrete and application.

For heavy coating and epoxy removal, pair with our PCD Diamond Tools.

Magnetic grinding shoes are a key part of concrete grinding tools, used for surface preparation, coating removal, and floor grinding. Designed for quick-change magnetic plates, they allow fast installation and minimal downtime on site.

  • What Are Magnetic Grinding Shoes?

    Magnetic grinding shoes are quick-change diamond tooling segments for floor grinders fitted with a magnetic plate system. Unlike bolted segments, they swap in seconds without tools - reducing downtime on site and keeping your crew moving between setups.

  • Choosing the Right Bond

    Matching bond hardness to your concrete is the single biggest factor in tool performance and life:

    • Soft bond (SSB / SB): Best for hard concrete and high-MPA surfaces
    • Medium bond (MB): Ideal for general-purpose grinding
    • Hard bond (HB): Suitable for soft or abrasive concrete

    Wrong bond = glazing, poor cut rate, and premature wear. When in doubt, start softer and adjust.

  • Grit Guide for Concrete Grinding

    Grit determines how aggressively the segment cuts and the scratch pattern it leaves:

    • 16 / 30 grit: Aggressive grinding and coating removal
    • 60 grit: Surface preparation and scratch removal
    • 120 grit: Fine grinding before polishing

    Always work coarse to fine - skipping grits costs time and finish quality.

  • Segment Types

    Magnetic grinding shoes come in different segment designs to suit various applications:

    • PCD tools: For aggressive coating removal (epoxy, glue, paint)
    • W segments: Fast cutting and efficient debris removal
    • Hexagon segments: Controlled grinding and smooth finish
    • Button segments: Fine surface refinement

    Choosing the right segment improves performance and finish quality.

  • Machine Compatibility

    Our magnetic grinding shoes are designed for machines with magnetic plates and can be used across a wide range of floor grinders.

    For Husqvarna-style systems, see our Redi Lock Grinding Shoes.

    You can also pair these with PCD Diamond Tools and Concrete Polishing Pads for a complete grinding system.
