Metal Bond Diamond Abrasives(also called as Metal Bond Diamond Fickert Abrasive) are heavy-duty grinding tools widely used in the stone processing industry. Shaped like a brick or boat (Fickert style), they are primarily installed on automatic polishing lines or calibrating machines to grind and level hard surfaces like granite, engineered stone, ceramic tile and quartz.
We offer comprehensive range of metal bond diamond abrasives with excellent shaping, high efficiency, long working lifespan and low consumption.
Products structure
These Metal Bond Diamond Abrasives refers to the specific manufacturing process and material composition of the abrasive segments:
- The Bond (Matrix): Diamond particles are mixed with metal powders (such as cobalt, iron, copper, or nickel alloys) and then sintered under high temperature and pressure. This creates a highly durable, rigid matrix.
- The Abrasive: Industrial diamond grits are embedded throughout the metal bond. As the metal matrix slowly wears away during grinding, new diamond crystals are continuously exposed.
- The Base: The sintered metal segments are attached to a heavy-duty base (usually aluminum, steel, or bakelite) designed to fit standard Fickert-head polishing machines.

Products Applications
Metal Bond Diamond Abrasives are the "workhorses" used at the very beginning of the stone polishing line.
- Calibrating & Leveling: Flattening uneven stone slabs to ensure uniform thickness.
- Coarse Grinding: Removing saw marks and rough imperfections left behind by block cutters or wire saws.
- Applicable Materials: Ideal for hard stones like granite, quartz, quartzite, and ceramic slabs. (They are rarely used on soft marble, as they can easily scratch it).
Products Advantages
Compared to traditional silicon carbide (magnesite or resin-bonded) abrasives, Metal Bond Diamond Abrasives offer superior performance:
- Exceptional Lifespan: The metal matrix is highly wear-resistant, allowing one set of Fickerts to process thousands of square meters of stone before needing replacement.
- High Grinding Efficiency: The sharpness of the diamonds allows for aggressive material removal, significantly speeding up the production line.
- Perfect Flatness: Because the metal bond does not deform under pressure, it ensures the stone slab achieves a perfectly flat, calibrated surface.
- Lower Long-term Cost: While the initial cost is higher than traditional abrasives, their longevity dramatically reduces downtime for tool changes and lowers the per-square-meter processing cost.
