Below: TX Triple Thick epoxy resin diamond discs
Right: DICP Ceramic Polishing discs are phenolic and ceramic resin discs.
M3 Technologies also offers the TYP Typhoon resin discs and the Rosette resins, both of which are epoxy resin discs. Their performance is like that of the TXs. The differences are that the TYP are the thickest
(this means less flexible than the TXs) epoxy resins M3 offers, and the Rosettes have a different water channel design. It is strictly a personal preference, based on the specific application. M3 Technologies’
Technical assistance can help with the cor- rect choice.
The Premium Flexible DICP series res- in-bond diamonds are a great all-around diamond abrasive which works well on most any hard surface like marble, terrazzo, granite, some engineered stones, and con- crete. They are phenolic resin with ceramic and will tend to cut faster than epoxies, but will not give the same shine level after each grit that the epoxies do. They are a great general-purpose diamond that I use
for doing borders (edges on floors). I usu- ally prefer the AA Turbos for marble coun- tertops but the DICP5s will work, you will just need to take them up higher in the grit series to get the same look.
The Superior Hard Concrete HC3 res- ins are also phenolic and are designed specifically for concrete honing and polish- ing. They work very well under planetary machines as well as single disc machines, for both wet and dry operations. They will cut faster wet and last longer when used dry.
