Diamond grinders and polishers use horizontally rotating disks to level, smooth or clean a concrete surface. A diamond tipped or other type of abrasive wheel (such as a litex disc) is mounted on the grinder. The grinder may have single or multiple heads (typically up to 3). They remove coatings or adhesive residues and smooth or flatten concrete slabs, including troublesome curled expansion joints. They remove surface imperfections. For decorative concrete applications, use the machines to polish concrete to a high shine or to restore old slabs for architectural finishes.
Depending on the type of abrasive wheel used on the grinder, it can be used to lightly prepare the surface (especially useful when applying thin coat coatings) or can quickly remove mastics, epoxies, urethane, paint and thick coatings. Special types of multi-headed grinders can be outfitted with carbide tipped slicers to quickly cut through heavy, built-up adhesives, elastomeric coatings, waterproof membranes and more.
Tungsten Carbide Tip Cutters are ideal for use to roughen concrete, remove trip hazards, remove thick epoxy and other hard materials.
