Description
BSD Transitional Diamonds
Designed to transition from a metal bond diamond grinding process to a resin polishing process, BSD Transitional Diamonds refine floors through the honing steps in a more efficient manner, saving you time and money. In other words, these long lasting diamonds are usually used after cutting the concrete with the Premium 4 Segment Transitional Diamond. Above all, remember, all of Boride’s diamonds are manufactured in America. Therefore, by using these great diamonds you’re supporting fellow Americans and American manufacturing! As a result, these diamond pads are of a far superior quality compared to diamonds made in China.
Made with Blue Star Diamond Technology™
Made with Blue Star Diamond Technology™, which is a ceramic bond matrix that holds the diamond particles together, BSD Transitional Diamonds last longer and are more efficient than resin-bonded pads. To clarify, they not only offer a consistent scratch pattern but remove difficult metal scratches in 75% less time (one or two passes versus five or six) and let you skip the last metal step traditionally required. Therefore, you replace pads less often, spend fewer dollars on supplies, and finish jobs ahead of schedule. How can you beat that, right?!!
