6 Orange Double Segment Very Soft Concrete

- The most aggressive metal-bond grinding segment available — 6 grit goes below the standard 16-grit "coarsest" tier, designed for extreme stock removal where even a 16 grit isn't fast enough. Tears through the thickest coatings, heavy industrial mastic, multi-layer epoxy overlays, severe surface deformities, and badly damaged or contaminated slabs that need significant material removed before a normal grinding sequence can begin.

- Double-segment configuration for tool life on extreme prep work — two diamond segments per shoe create more surface contact than a single segment, extending tool life and stabilizing the cut. Best paired with larger / heavier walk-behind grinders (25" and up) where the extra contact patch and weight help the segment cut effectively at this coarse a grit. At 6 grit specifically, the goal is still speed, but the double-segment layout keeps the tool from burning out as fast as a single-segment version.

- Engineered for very soft concrete — very soft concrete (typically under 2,000 PSI, Mohs 2–3) is highly abrasive and rips through diamond segments fast. The orange color code designates the hardest metal bond available, holding the diamonds in place longer to give usable tool life on a slab that would chew through softer bonds in a fraction of the time.

- Leaves a deep scratch pattern by design — at 6 grit, expect visible groove lines, exposed aggregate, and a rough surface. That's the point. After this pass, the progression must step up through 16, 25/30, 50, 80, and 100-grit metals before transitioning to resin pads. Skipping steps after a 6-grit cut will leave a scratch pattern that resin pads cannot remove.

- Specialist tool for severe prep, not a regular sequence starter — most jobs start at 16 or 25 grit. Reach for 6 grit only when the floor presents extreme conditions: deep coatings to strip, surface deformities to grind out, or large stock removal that warrants the extra step. Used correctly, it can cut hours off a heavy prep job; used unnecessarily, it just adds a step and prolongs the grind.
