Edco

A smaller, more portable and more cost effective floor grinder is now available from Edco. The SE-C model grinds four times faster than floor buffers and is easier to handle, according to the company. It accepts all Edco grinder accessories, including Dyma-Serts and Strip-Serts, to grind concrete or remove mastics and paints quickly.

Gary Edwards, owner of Creative Concrete & Resurfacing, Littlestown, Pa., uses the SE-C unit to accomplish a number of different jobs, including removing paint and polishing concrete floors. “They fine tuned it so that you can get incredibly close without hitting the wall,” Edwards said. “It takes away the step of using a hand grinder to get the spots near the wall, which makes the job quicker.”

Hitachi Power Tools

The G23MR 9-inch grinder and G23MR 7-inch grinder deliver 15 amps and 3,500 watts of maximum output power. They come equipped with an adjustable three-position side handle that reduces vibration and improves control and comfort.
