15 reasons why our dustshrouds are the world's best
Dustless
grinding and edging equipment are essential for all floor contractors
These
concrete floor grinders and edging tools are an essential
part of every contractor's concrete
grinding equipment because most of the
larger grinding tools are not designed
to feather out to the edges.
Diamond
grinding is the preferred way to prepare
floors for coatings, sealers, vinyl,
overlays, polishing or decorative
finishes and dry grinding is faster than
wet with less cleanup and automatic pick
up and collection of the dust via a dust
collector/vacuum.
How diamonds grind
concrete
The
tools bove use angle grinders with diamond
grinding cupwheels fitted which are
surrounded by a dust shroud. The diamond
segments will readily grind away
concrete reducing it to a fine dust
which is exhausted through the vacuum
port to which is connected a vacuum dust
collector using a flexible vacuum hose
as indicated in the top picture.

hardness
Diamond grinding wheel
for hard concrete
The
diamond grinding cupwheels have diamond
segments welded to them which are blocks
of metal with diamonds dispersed
throughout. As the metal wears away the
diamonds are exposed and they cut the
concrete. It is essential that the
concrete dust and sands cut back the
metal for the diamonds to work. For more
information about segments go to
Grinding Hard Concrete.
How to use a
diamond cupwheel
Concrete
floor grinding with angle grinders
requires the cupwheel to be held flat on
the floor because it has many hard,
rigid, metal segments welded to it which are
not flexible.
The
diamond cupwheel is held flat on the
floor with light pressure while the
grinder is started. Once the grinding
begins the cupwheel must be moved in a
circular motion to prevent grinding a
depression in the floor.
