Concrete grinding removes epoxy, paint, stain and other coatings from concrete for a smooth finish. With a rotating abrasive attachment, concrete grinders level off your slab with each pass of the machine.
Depending on the size of the project, you can choose between walk-behind grinders for large slabs or hand-held grinders for minor cracks and crevices. When grinding topical concrete, use silicon carbonite wheels; for general grinding purposes, use diamond wheels. The most important factor is achieving complete surface contact with the grinding wheels for seamless, smooth concrete.
To reduce the amount of dust kicked up when grinding concrete, cover all entrances with plastic and have a vacuum handy to prevent debris from going airborne. Spraying the floor lightly with water can also reduce dust particles when grinding.
