Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ’s
What type of surface prep tool should I use for small areas?
For smaller areas or detailed work, handheld grinders or single-head floor grinders are ideal. They provide precise control and are easy to maneuver around corners and tight spaces.
Can I use the same grinder for different surface types?
Yes. Many floor grinders and polishers are versatile, handling concrete, terrazzo, and other surfaces. Choose the right grinding or polishing pad for optimal results on each material.
Should I choose AC, propane, or battery-powered equipment?
AC-powered machines are great for indoor jobs, propane models provide portability for outdoor work, and battery-powered tools offer flexibility and quiet operation for sensitive environments.
How do I maintain and clean surface prep equipment?
After each use, remove dust and debris from the machine, check pads and discs for wear, and inspect all moving parts. Regular maintenance ensures consistent performance and extends the life of your tools.
