AGR Diamond Tools Introduces New Green Silicon Carbide Grinding Stone

The Woodlands, TX, Nov. 12, 2007 -- AGR Diamond Tools, a leading manufacturer of diamond tools for the construction industry, has introduced a new grinding stone that gives natural stone fabricators a safer and more effective alternative to black carbide stones. Past generations of diamond grinding stones were dangerously susceptible to exploding or cracking when exposed to water. AGR’s new Green Silicon Carbide Grinding Stone allows fabricators and contractors to use the stones wet or dry without the possibility of sending deadly shrapnel across a job site. Other companies may claim to make green silicon stones, but the AGR stones are not water repellent, they are water-proof. In testing process they are submerged for 48 hours and then immediately put into usage cycle.

AGR’ s Green Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones use a patent pending technology that combines green silicon carbide and resin to create a waterproof, crack proof, and injury proof grinding stone. Traditional black carbide stones are formed using heat and pressure, basically “pressing” the stones together. AGR’s stones are much safer due to the fact green silicon is much harder than black carbide, making it better for grinding hard materials/stones. AGR Diamond Tools is the only major manufacturer of diamond tools that markets and distributes tools directly to their customers through their dealership network and on-line at www.agrtools.com.
