Which cup wheel, pad or drum for your jobsite?

Enter the area, the material and the machine used: the estimator shows the matched Sept Tools references live, with the recommended grit or diameter at each step, without you having to browse the catalogue's 496 references yourself.

Results based on the 2025 diamond catalogue and the Sept Tools machine/consumable compatibility matrix. No generic quantity or replacement frequency is invented: see the detail below.

Summary of your selection
  
Reading the result

How are the shown references ordered?

Results follow the real jobsite sequence: the diamond cup wheel strips and levels first, velcro pads then refine the surface through increasing grit, ceramic pads correct scratches before a polished result. For a planer or bush hammer, a single consumable family applies.

The categories shown depend on the machine/material compatibility actually documented in the Sept Tools catalogue: no family is suggested by default unless it is validated for the selected machine.

Transparency

Why is no exact quantity displayed?

The lifespan of a cup wheel or pad depends on the substrate (hardness, laitance, reinforcement), the pressure applied and the machine: no measured wear data per reference is published in our catalogue. Rather than inventing a generic frequency, the estimator recommends the matched references and grit, then points to a quote for an exact figure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about diamond consumables

How do I estimate the number of diamond cup wheels needed for a site?

The quantity depends on the real wear of the substrate (concrete hardness, laitance, coating to be stripped) and on operator technique: Sept Tools does not publish a generic consumption rule per square metre. The estimator shows the references matched to your material and machine; for an exact piece count, describe your site through the quote request.

Which grit should I choose for grinding concrete?

Grinding progresses from the coarsest grit to the finest: a diamond cup wheel for stripping and levelling, then electrolytic velcro pads in increasing grit (40 to 400) for finishing. Ceramic pads come last to correct scratches before a polished result.

Do screed and self-leveling compound have a dedicated reference?

No. The Sept Tools catalogue does not list a distinct screed or self-leveling reference: the estimator matches screed to the concrete references (closest cement-based material) and self-leveling compound to the render references. Confirm exact compatibility with your sales contact before ordering.

Do I need an adapter to mount a velcro pad on a grinder?

Yes, except for the M14-fitted references that mount directly. Electrolytic and ceramic velcro pads need a velcro adapter of the matching diameter, available in rigid or flexible versions.

What is the difference between a diamond cup wheel and a velcro pad?

The diamond cup wheel removes material (stripping, levelling, removing a coating): that is the first step. The velcro pad then refines the surface through increasing grit to reach the desired finish. These are two complementary steps, not two alternatives.

How do I get a precise estimate with quantities and pricing?

The estimator identifies the references matched to your site, without inventing a quantity or a replacement frequency. Click "Get a precise estimate by quote": your selection (area, material, machine, identified references) is sent directly, with a reply within 24 hours.

Need an exact figure, quantities included?

Describe your jobsite (area, material, substrate condition, machine): our sales team gets back to you with precise quantities and availability. No commitment.
