An order for six 60-grit medium-bond grinding shoes looks straightforward. But ordering the right replacement tools involves more than selecting “60 grit” from a menu. The mounting interface, bond and number of individual shoes must also match the intended setup.
A recent Monkey King Diamond Tools order contained six shoes in this exact specification. Using the double-segment metal-bond grinding shoe for matching Lavina holders as the example, here is how to turn a short purchase description into a clearer buying decision.
This product is sold individually. An order quantity of six means six grinding shoes—not six sets, six plates or six complete machine loads.
The order quantity does not tell us how many tools the buyer’s grinder carries. It could cover a complete load, replacement stock or another arrangement. The correct quantity depends on the actual tooling plate and the machine manufacturer’s loading requirements.
Before placing an order, count the individual shoes required by your setup. Do not calculate the quantity from the number of grinding heads alone.
Match the Holder Before Selecting 60 Grit
A grinding shoe needs the correct mounting interface before its abrasive specification becomes useful.
For this Monkey King product, the stated application is a Lavina setup with a matching tool holder and mounting interface. Check the machine model, holder design, hole spacing and fastening requirements before purchasing.
A machine brand in a product title is not enough to establish compatibility. An existing adapter or replacement tooling plate may also change the connection.
If you are buying for an EDCO grinder or another machine, confirm that specific interface separately. Do not assume that a shoe listed for a matching Lavina holder will fit another system without verification.
Specify Grit and Bond Separately
“60 grit” identifies the abrasive grade. “Medium bond” identifies a separate part of the tool specification. Neither description replaces the other.
The current Monkey King product offers 6, 16, 30, 60 and 120 grit, with Soft, Medium and Hard bond options. A replacement order should specify both fields rather than asking only for “Lavina diamonds.”
When comparing grinding stages, use the existing 30-grit versus 60-grit metal-bond guide. The useful question is whether the selected step can address the floor’s present condition and leave a scratch pattern suitable for the next operation—not whether 60 grit is always the right starting point.
Medium bond is not a universal choice for every concrete floor. Concrete hardness and abrasiveness affect cutting and wear. If a previous tool glazes or wears rapidly, review the bond selection rather than automatically repeating the same specification. Our guide to choosing metal-bond tools for different concrete conditions explains the selection factors.
Keep the Grinding Task Clear
This is a double-segment metal-bond diamond grinding shoe for concrete grinding and surface preparation.
It should not be described as a carbide scraper or PCD removal tool simply because those words appear in a marketplace search title. Coating removal, concrete grinding and later polishing are different tasks, and the appropriate tooling depends on the material being worked.
If you are comparing tool types rather than replacing a known shoe, begin with the metal-bond grinding tools range. Establish the floor condition and required operation before choosing a grit and bond combination.
Place a Complete Replacement Order
A clear order identifies the matching mounting interface, selected grit, selected bond and number of individual tools.
For the order discussed here, the purchase specification was six individual shoes, 60 grit and Medium Bond. That specification is a useful reference for ordering, not a recommendation that every contractor should use six medium-bond tools.
Once the holder and application are confirmed, select the required grit, bond and quantity of Monkey King double-segment grinding shoes. If the mounting interface is uncertain, have Stone review it before ordering.
