MOHS HARDNESS TESTER THE PERFECT KIT FOR ANY CONTRACTOR USING DIAMOND GRINDING WHEELS, CUTTING TOOLS
A simple check of the hardness of your work surface before starting can assist in the correct selection of diamond consumables.
To understand this, think of a hard surface needing a soft bond metal diamond, so the diamond grit exposes and does the cutting – if the metal bond is too hard, it will be slow in releasing the diamond grit and make your project take longer than needed. In contrast, if the surface is soft and abrasive and metal bond diamond is also smooth, it will wear away much faster than necessary.
In the MOHS Hardness test kit, you will find eight different tip choices, each with different hardness. Some will leave a mark when you use it to scratch a floor; others will not. How much of a scratch is left on the bottom is a key to choosing the right diamond on the job.
By working through each number of tips in the test kit from highest to lowest, you can quickly determine the right tool for the job as the scratch will fade or deepen according to how hard the floor is.
These handy kits are a valuable asset to any flooring contractor preparing concrete floors, so you get it the right first time. And better still, we have matched Schwamborn diamond shoe, to the Mohs hardness tips.
