Abstract: A grinding and/or polishing tool comprises a thin, substantially flat substrate, which has a grinding side to which grinding particles are applied, the substrate being substantially incompressible in a direction perpendicular to the grinding side, the grinding particles comprising diamond particles, and the grinding particles being fixed to the substrate by a curing plastic resin. Moreover, a grinding and/or polishing method is disclosed, in which such a grinding and/or polishing tool is used, and also a method of manufacturing such a grinding and/or polishing tool.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for abrading a wall of stone or concrete material. The invention comprises a shell (2) with which is operationally connected an abrading head (1), and a carriage intended to move at least along the surface and support the shell (2) movably so that the abrading head (1) by means of the movement of the shell (2) performs an upward and downward abrading movement. The abrading head (1) is of the type which has a rotatably mounted and driven planet wheel with a number of driven abrading discs rotatably mounted thereon and fitted with abrading elements. The device has an element for placing the abrading head (1) with a predeterminable force against the surface to be abraded.

Abstract: The invention concerns a carrier plate (2) holding an abrading element, for detachable mounting on a rotatably mounted abrading plate (1) driven during use, for abrading stone or concrete floors, which carrier plate (2) has sides (2a, 2b) which form an acute angle with each other. The sides (2a, 2b) have flanges (2a1, 2b1) which are formed for surrounding engagement with a shoulder (1a) arranged on the abrading plate (1) so that the carrier plate (2) can be fixed on the abrading plate (1) with an engagement based on form and friction.

Abstract: A machining plate carries at least one machining element for the grinding, polishing and/or cutting of a floor surface. The machining element is arranged in a recess in the machining plate. The recess is at least partially provided with an elastic lining, so that the machining element is resiliently secured in relation to the machining plate.

Abstract: A method for dry finishing of a floor surface consisting of concrete, stone, marble, terrazzo, densite or other hard materials is disclosed. The method comprises finishing of the floor surface using a cutting, grinding and/or polishing tool.
