Terrazzo Polishing - TPS Polishing System (Dry-Wet Steps)
The TPS System is a coordinated metal and resin bonded diamond system to perform grinding and
polishing of new Epoxy Terrazzo using any of the eight models of P/M machines.
The TPS System is only to be used dry for steps #1, #2 & #3 and wet only for steps #4, #5, #6 & #7 and
in sequence as numbered by tools #1 through #7. All tools are painted orange or use orange Velcro to
indicate a matched system.
Since a portion of the TPS System is performed wet, its use should only be by those familiar with all
safety and productive work practices while using water.
TPS #1
1
#1 is a metal bond tool painted orange that has pictured face design and can be clearly
identified by the number on back as “#1.” This tool features the patented EG attachment
system. The tool is run dry. Approximate life of #1 is 12,000 SF / 1,115 M
2
for all P/M Machines
except 4430. (P/M Machine 4430 life expectancy is 15,500 SF / 1,440 M
2
.)
This tool is the first cut tool for Epoxy Terrazzo rough cut step. The #1 TPS tool life will be variable based
upon Epoxy Terrazzo mixture components, consistency of epoxy terrazzo placement, and adequate
dust collection.
TPS #2
2
#2 is a metal bond tool painted orange that has pictured face design and can be clearly
identified by the number on back as “#2.” This tool features the patented EG attachment
system. The tool is run dry. Approximate life of #2 is 30,000 SF / 2,787 M
2
for all P/M Machines
except 4430. (P/M Machine 4430 life expectancy is 40,000 SF / 3,716 M

TPS #3
3
#3 is a metal bond tool painted orange that has pictured face design and can be clearly
identified by the number on back as “#3.” This tool features the patented EG attachment
system. The tool is run dry. Approximate life of #3 is 30,000 SF / 2,787 M
