If you’ve ever ordered “diamond segments” that looked right… but didn’t fit your machine, you already know the truth:
Fitment comes first.
Diamonds (bond/grit/segment shape) matter — but only after the tool actually mounts to your grinder.
This guide makes fitment simple. You’ll learn:
- how to identify your mount style fast
- which systems slide in / wedge in / bolt on / use magnetic adapters
- where to shop the exact compatible tooling on GrandDiamondTools.ca
What “compatible” diamond tooling means
When a product says “Redi-Lock compatible” or “SASE compatible” etc., it means the tool is designed to match that mount interface.
It does not mean:
- it fits every grinder brand automatically
- your machine can’t have a different plate/adapter installed
- one mount style is “universal”
Fast identification method (60 seconds)
Do one of these:
Option A: Look at a segment that already fits
Remove one segment/shoe and check the bottom + how it locks in:
- Does it slide in and lock?
- Does it wedge in?
- Does it bolt on?
- Does it use a magnetic adapter / holder?
Option B: Look at your plate/holders (not just the grinder brand)
Tooling fitment is determined by the mount interface you’re running — which can be changed with holders/adapters.
Option C: Compare your plate to the category photos
Open the compatible collections below and visually match what you have.
Tooling mount styles (simple table)
Important clarity (so nobody orders wrong)
Some systems are true “quick-change” where tools slide/wedge in and out quickly. Many manufacturers describe quick-change tooling as a slide/wedge system.
Prep/Master tooling is commonly described as slide-style tooling.
Other setups use holders/adapters that change how the diamond piece attaches — for example, on our site we sell SASE holders with magnetic attachment.
Bottom line:
- Match the mount interface you are actually running today (plate/holders/adapters included), not just the grinder brand.

After fitment: how to choose the right diamonds (bond + grit + layout)
Once you’ve picked the correct mount style, then choose performance:
1) Bond (match the concrete hardness)
- Hard concrete → softer bond
- Soft/abrasive concrete → harder bond
- Unsure → medium bond is a safe starting point
2) Grit (match your goal)
- 16/20: aggressive cutting / heavier scratch
- 30/40: common general-purpose starting point
- 60/80: refinement pass when needed
3) Segment layout
- Single: aggressive, faster cut
- Double: best all-around choice
- Multi: more stable / consistent scratch
The #1 ordering checklist
Before you buy:
- ✅ My mount style is: Redi-Lock / SASE / HTC / Diamatic / Dialoc / Lavina / ASL-Trapezoid / Scanmaskin / Prep-Master / Round
- ✅ My goal is: grind / coating prep / coating removal
- ✅ My starting grit is: 16/20 or 30/40 (or other)
- ✅ My bond is: soft / medium / hard
- ✅ My layout is: single / double / multi
If you’re not 100% sure on #1, don’t guess — compare your plate to the collections above.
FAQ
What diamond tooling fits my grinder?
Tooling fit depends on the mount style/plate interface you’re running (Redi-Lock, SASE, HTC, Diamatic/Dialoc, etc.). Confirm the mount first, then shop the matching compatible category.
What’s the difference between Diamatic and Dialoc tooling?
They’re different mount interfaces. If your plate is Dialoc, buy Dialoc-compatible tooling — don’t mix them.
How do I avoid ordering the wrong grinding segments?
Match the mount interface first. If needed, take a photo of your plate and compare it to the compatible collections.
