Based on our years of market experience, we would like to share some information about the applicable scope of Resin-Bonded Diamond Frankfurt Abrasive Blocks as follows
I. Applicable Stone Types
1 Various Natural Marbles
- Mainstream architectural stones such as beige marble,
- grey-white marble,
- Nero Marquina (Black with White Veins),
- dark-veined marble,
- and medium-hardness marble.
2 Porous, Soft Stones
- Travertine and limestone;
- due to their loose texture, flexible resin polishing is required to prevent edge chipping and scratching.
3 High-End Translucent Luxury Stones
- Onyx and translucent agate;
- utilizes a specialized soft-resin formula-the only diamond abrasive suitable for the precision finishing of these materials.
4 Composite Engineered Stones
- Engineered marble,
- cement-based terrazzo,
- and epoxy-repaired stone;
- capable of leveling repair layers and achieving a high-gloss finish.
5 Low-to-Medium Hardness Stones
- Thin marble slabs with low quartz content;
- not suitable for high-hardness granite or "Black Galaxy" (Black Gold Sand) granite.
Prohibited Stone Types
Hard stones such as granite, "Black Galaxy," and quartzite; resin blocks cannot be used as a substitute for metal-bonded abrasives in the coarse grinding stage.

II. Applicable Slab Types
- Standard 20mm large marble slabs, elongated architectural slabs, and exterior dry-hanging stone panels
- Stone countertops, stair treads, and vanity tops (from rough blank to finished product)
- Slabs containing epoxy repairs or filled voids/holes
- Thin decorative marble panels and interior decorative stone facings
Inapplicable Slab Types
Raw stone blocks (thick slabs), rough blanks with significant surface irregularities, and the rough processing of curved or complex-shaped stones.
III. Applicable Processing Stages
(Medium Polishing, Fine Polishing, and Mirror Finishing Only)
Designed for the final polishing stages of a marble production line; not suitable for initial coarse grinding:
- #120–#600 Medium Polishing: Refines marks left by magnesite abrasive blocks and unifies surface texture.
- #800–#3000 Fine Polishing: Gradually enhances gloss and eliminates fine scratches.
- Buffing Block: Ultra-bright mirror finish; enhances the mirror-like quality of high-end stone.
Complete Standard Process Flow:
- Metal-bond Diamond Frankfurt (Coarse Grinding) →
- Magnesite Frankfurt (Transition) →
- Resin-bond Diamond Frankfurt (Medium & Fine Mirror Polishing)

IV. Compatible Processing Equipment
1 Fully automatic continuous marble polishing lines
Compatible with Keda, Breton, Simec, and Intermac 8/12/16/20-head polishing lines; direct installation via standard T105 "horseshoe" base.
2 Heavy-duty automatic bridge-type slab grinding machines and multi-head calibrating/polishing equipment
For batch finishing of marble slabs.
3 Small 8-head compact marble polishing machines
T80 small horseshoe model
Incompatible Equipment
- Granite L140 polishing lines, handheld grinders, and floor renovation machines.
V. Suitable Factories and Customer Types
- Factories for large-scale marble slab production (8-hour intermittent or 24-hour continuous lines)
- Specialized processing plants for high-end jade, travertine, and translucent luxury stones
- Manufacturers of countertops, decorative stone, and architectural exterior cladding
- Importers and wholesalers of stone processing consumables (stocking full product ranges)
- Dedicated processing plants for engineered stone and terrazzo
VI. Suitable Operating Conditions
- Fine finishing stages following rough and intermediate grinding on slab production lines
- Production of high-end orders requiring a mirror-like, scratch-free finish
- Marble production lines with limited cooling water supply (unable to provide high-volume water flow)
- Batch continuous processing scenarios prioritizing consistent gloss and reduced rework
Unsuitable Operating Conditions
- Dry grinding (water-free);
- heavy-duty roughing of thick raw blocks;
- continuous heavy-load processing of single, extremely hard stone types.
The above summary is based on Cheefung Company's years of experience. However, as the market evolves and customer demands for stone processing quality rise, the application scope and versatility of Resin-Bonded Diamond Frankfurt Abrasive Blocks are expanding. In particular, the emergence of composite-bond Diamond Frankfurt Abrasive blocks has addressed the limitations of traditional resin blocks and significantly enhanced performance.
