Situp N Grind from Situp Products
is a concrete grinder available in
240V. Both grinder and vacuum will
run off a single domestic power
outlet.
The Situp N Grind allows an
operator to finish up to three times
as much area per day with the same
angle grinder and cupwheel compared
with grinding while kneeling.
The 6,500 rpm of a nine inch
angle grinder and the enormous
torque of the motor is a combination
that cuts through concrete, glue,
paint and sealers. The portable
grinder can be carried in one hand
and the vacuum dust collector in the
other.
Grinding speeds in excess of
40sq.m. per hour have been achieved
for light grinding of the surface
while normal surface preparation is
25sq.m. per hour. The Situp N Grind
is suitable for fast edging work and
for small rooms.
At World of Concrete in USA 2004,
the Situp N Grind was awarded the
‘Most Innovative Product’ for its
design and performance.

The Situp N Grind is suitable for
flooring, landscaping, tiling,
painting, sealing, building,
coating, grinding, polishing,
resurfacing and preparation. The
Situp N Grind including the vacuum
can be operated anywhere from a
single power outlet.
The productivity of the Situp N
Grind, which uses a nine inch angle
grinder, does not always come from
the grinding force alone; it is
faster to move onto site, faster to
pack away, takes up less room in the
vehicle and can be quickly shifted
from one area to another. Without a
long handle, the Situp N Grind is
easier to position and operate in
tight spaces and can be accurately
controlled.
Using a single power outlet for
both the vacuum and the grinder will
also provide dust-free, operation
due to the close proximity of the
vacuum to the grinder and the
compact seven inch diameter
cupwheel. The efficiency of the dust
shroud comes from the steel
construction, which has an
adjustable rubber seal to maintain
the perfect height to control dust
and prevent suck-down sticking of
the shroud to the floor.
Fast grinding speeds of up to
40sqm per hour are possible with the
Situp N Grind for light grinding and
cleanup of the surface. Normal
operating speeds vary from 10sqm per
hour for epoxy removal to 30sqm per
hour for levelling and cleaning
floors. Heavy glue or thick paints
can also be removed easily.
Most large, 240V grinder motors
are squirrel-cage design that lack
the torque and speed of an angle
grinder and slow down easily under
load. Nine inch angle grinders
produce enormous torque, run at high
speed around 6,000 rpm and are
reliable for their size. The
ergonomic position of the operator
using a Situp N Grind allows for all
the power of the angle grinder to be
transferred to the grinding process.
