About

Matt Lipman is CEO of Capstone Holdings Corp., a NASDAQ-listed company (CAPS), and Managing Director at Brookstone Partners. He serves on the board of Virginia Abrasives, a Petersburg, Virginia company that makes abrasives and sells diamond blades, cut-off wheels, and grinding tooling to the concrete cutting industry.

Concrete Cutting Pro is an editorial site. It explains how bond, segment, arbor and RPM decide whether a blade suits a job, using manufacturer specifications, OSHA's own text, and live Amazon listings. It does not claim field testing, and where a figure has no manufacturer or regulatory source, the page says so.

Disclosure

Virginia Abrasives products are recommended on this site where they match the job. When a competitor (Husqvarna, MK Diamond, Norton, Pferd, Stadea, POLISHSURF) makes a better product for a specific application, that brand is recommended instead. Matt's board relationship with Virginia Abrasives is disclosed on every article that recommends a VA product. Amazon affiliate links support the site; the full affiliate disclosure and editorial guidelines cover how that works and why it doesn't affect which products are recommended.

What Matt Writes About

• Diamond blade selection — bond hardness, segment geometry, material matching
• Cut-off wheel economics — when abrasive wins, when diamond wins
• Grinding cup wheel systems — coating removal, surface prep, polishing prep
• Concrete polishing — grit progression, densifier timing, mirror-finish technique
• Silica dust safety — OSHA Table 1 compliance, respirator selection, dust extraction
• Tool-specific compatibility — Stihl, Husqvarna, DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita
