I have a concrete patio around my pool that needs some grinding. Can this tool work for this, or would you recommend I purchase a cup grinding disc?

Buy the disc just keep it wet thats about all this is a grinder with a water attachment but to rip concrete down your gonna want the disc

I used the pads I got on marble. Not sure how they would hold up on concrete.

It would depend on whether you were looking to remove a bit of roughness and polish smooth. Otherwise, if you were looking to remove much material, a cup disc would be better but the variable speed of this tool would be nice to have with that too. What are you trying to accomplish?

The type of grinder should not matter. The grinder dust shield is the key. The standard hose supplied with the vacuum has an inside inch and a half diameter. This fits the Makita dust shield and maybe some of the 3rd party models. The fleece bag works best for concrete as the plastic liner style gets the inside a little messy. Good vacuum for concrete dust.

Yes you can but you must to buy Dewalt DW4774 4-1/2 inch grinding wheel. It will smooth and level the surface out. Try it you will like it. The grinding wheel is expensive but iy is worth. Good luck

I have never used mine to grind metal but I have read of others who have. You just need the right kind of disks. I suggest you go on line and read how guys do it.

It just comes with grinding blades. I bought the angle grinder principally to cut curves in concrete paving stones, so I bought a diamond saw blade to cut masonry. It worked very well and made the job easy. The blade I bought (on Amazon) was: "DEWALT DW4725 High Performance 4-1/2-Inch Dry Cutting Continuous Rim Diamond Saw Blade with 7/8-Inch Arbor for Masonry". It was less than 10 dollars, and was worth every penny.

I use mine on concrete and it does a great job. I feel like it will do you a good job on the deck....R. Hobbs

NO! Not for a grinding disk such as the DeWalt DW4524 4-1/2-Inch by 1/4-Inch by 7/8-Inch Concrete/Masonry Grinding Wheel. The metal part of the shroud extends about 0.5 inch beyond the level of the grinding surface so you will never be able to connect with the surface that you want to grind! A cupped grinding wheel may extend past the metal part of the shroud.

I use this product to cut concrete all the time. Works great!! I recommend getting the diamond cutting blades from harbor freight tools. They are a lot cheaper, and you will go through a few of them. I actually just use this tool when I want to cut a straight line. Most of the time I use Hitachi G12SE2 4-1/2-Inch Disk Grinder. They both cut equally well and hold up great to hard use.

We don't use that part, but yes it does. We use ours with diamond grinding pads for concrete. We have had 4 of these buffers for a while now & they still work great.

I used it to break up approximately 30 balls of concrete that were about half that size. Did it in a day! That hammer is cheap but gets the job done. Just makes sure it's oiled up properly.

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

I was able to use them on a six inch random orbital polisher. My polisher was variable speed and I purchased it from Harbor Freight. I am Not sure if it will work on a straight grinder and it might leave swirl marks depending. The pads themselves though were excellent excellent in achieving the desired result I needed on a concrete countertop. these are all so wet pads so you have to have water running across the surface in order to use them. That might also be a little tricky with a conventional grinder in that you might end up with a shock hazard

It worked fine for grinding down concrete so you shouldn't have any issues grinding stucco. Dust is an issue so use a mask or a fine spray of water to keep the dust down.

Unless you have a quick recovery air compressor, it will be slow and use lots of sand. Hint: wire brush with grinder and blast crevices you can't reach with that.

It is a universal tool that should fit any grinder that is made for 4 to 5" discs. Hope this helps

If it loose aggregate, defiantly will blast the stones out. If it is held together with an epoxy base as some of the old pool decks were. probably will work if the driveway is in good condition.

I've used this grinder to cut 1/2 in Hardiebacker when doing bathroom remodels. I use a cutoff/wafer wheel which isn't ideal for this use but it works. In my opinion it had adequate power but the fully charged battery lasted roughly 20 mins of almost continuous use (I cut about 4 sheets for a tub surround). So, to answer your question, I know it will cut concrete with a diamond wheel, but if I needed to use it continuously for an extended period of time I'd go with something corded which is the case with most battery powered saws/grinders. I hope this helps.
