Overview
This tri-segment grinding shoe is a step up when a 2-segment pad feels too “aggressive” or wears unevenly. With more diamond contact, it helps you level concrete efficiently while keeping the scratch pattern more consistent across the floor.

What makes it different (unique angle)
This page positions it as the “stability + lifespan” choice:
• More segments = more contact
• More contact = smoother control + typically longer usable life (especially in mid grits)
It’s ideal for contractors who want predictable results across large areas.

Specs
• Tool type: Metal bond grinding shoe (3 segments)
• Mount system: for Scanmaskin grinder tool plate (Scanmaskin-style shoe)
• Grit options (examples): 6 / 16 / 30 / 60 / 120 (set as your variants)
• Bond options: Soft / Medium / Hard (use ONE standard option name across all products—recommend “Bond”)
• Use: Dry grinding (typical concrete prep workflow)

Applications
• Flattening and leveling concrete
• Removing scratches from earlier aggressive steps
• Medium-to-large area production grinding
• Prep before coatings when you want a controlled cut

Fitment  
• Built for Scanmaskin grinders using the Scanmaskin-style grinding shoe.
To avoid mismatch: confirm by (1) grinder model, (2) a photo of your current shoe/plate, (3) hole pattern/lock shape.

Quick selection guide
• Soft bond → hard concrete
• Hard bond → soft concrete
• Medium bond → general concrete
• Typical workflow: 30/40 → 60 → 120, then transition/hybrid if you’re polishing.

FAQ

Q1: When should I choose tri-segment instead of 2-segment?
If you want more stability, less chatter, and more even wear, tri-segment is usually the better daily-production choice.

Q2: Does tri-segment cut slower?
It can feel less “bitey” than 2-segment at the same grit, but it often compensates by staying stable and wearing more evenly—especially on bigger jobs.

Q3: How do I pick bond?
Hard concrete → soft bond. Soft concrete → hard bond. Unknown slab → start medium bond.

Q4: Will it fit other brands?
Don’t assume. Many shoes look similar. This listing is for Scanmaskin-style fitment only.

Q5: What should I use after this metal step?
For polishing: add a transition/hybrid step to remove metal scratches faster, then move to resin pads.
