Need to grind down high spots flanking expansion joints on concrete floor? Use this, or a diamond grinder? It's a hard, 6 yr old basement floor.

I will use diamond grinder to remove most of the concrete first, then use above item for clean smooth finish.

I used it for concrete siding and it works great. I would think it would cut flooring no problem. Just keep using the stone on the blade regularly. Good luck. This is worth every cent great tool for the money

We did, and it worked wonderfully. We did however use some concrete floor leveler to fill in the gaps between concrete slabs and help level out places around drains, plumbing etc... After we poured the leveler and let it dry, we used a hand grinding block to smooth those areas out nicely. A good vacuum and wipe down with a wet rag, and it was good to go. It went down very nicely on the concrete and looks great. Definitely happy with the outcome in our basement. Hope this helps.

I guest you wanted to cut into the cracks to make a big groove so that concrete can go in. In that case you don't need to cut deep into it. I use it to cut a 1" thick concrete without any problem. Remember to use a water hose to control the dust and prevent the blade getting to hot.

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

Not sure what type of grinding wheel to use, but the grinding disc that comes with this model is meant for metal and would likely damage the wood floor and gum up with glue. A different wheel may be needed. Otherwise, this model has done some moderate grinding work and performed excellent. I recommend this tool for price, performance and so far reliability. Hope this helps answer your question!

No I wouldn't use this tool. It would do the job but if you have an angle grinder with a cutoff blade that would be more appropriate. This tool would do the job with a small diameter cutoff bit but because it is an open blade safety would be an issue.

I think you might want to get 2 stage machine for that. This one is advertised to scrap the ground. I used to do this with a 2 stage, you just need to keep the front a little of the ground.

That is the best grinder ever. I use that everyday for tile work since 4 years. Never break but a little more expensive.

I'm not sure how you would use a grinder on plywood, but this tool can do so many other things, that you would be much better off with the Dewalt tool.

I would try it, I have never used that tool , I have always used the ( chisel and point) it will take care of most anything. The point will help you bust up concrete (Be careful and don't get them stuck). If you have a lot too do get a couple of each. They wear quickly.Have fun messy job:-)

It can do it but if you will be making frequent holes of this caliber i would suggest a Milwaukie hammer drill. But these do everything I need except drill through concrete slabs.

Yes. You might have to finagle the front though. I used a grinder and a floor jack to make it work. Worth the extra effort though!

In my opinion this grinder is NOT ideal for removing/smoothing off quick set based largely on the size of the grinding wheel and the square footage you are working on. However this grinder could given enough patience and the extra effort do the job but I don't recommend it. I think you should go to a larger corded grinder and/or use a chisel/chipper tool.

Place the holder and end cap on a concrete floor and hit the end of the axle towards the floor. It worked for me.

I agree with the other answers as well, buy the right machine for grinding. I suggest a Porter Cable grinder, I personally use one with grinding/cutting/sanding wheels on it.

I bought this with the D28402k small angle grinder for my husband. It worked great on his Grandmother's basement wall. I think this would work with the grinder in question as the grinder I bought him was a 4 1/2 inch and the one you have a question about is also.
