Hello guy's. Can I assume that since this is a concrete/masonry grinder that I could use this wheel to grind away ceramic tile thinset?

A hammer drill set on hammer with a flat chisel works better with less dust. Follow that up with a heavy duty hand floor scraper.

I do not believe it would. Some grinders (not multipurpose appliances like Kitchenaid) specifically state they will/will not grind bones.

Yes, I use a diamond blade to cut stucco, tile and granite. Ok for little and thin stuff, otherwise use an angle grinder with a diamond blade, or a circular saw with a diamond blade.

I would answer yes, but there are better ways. Because of the length of the blade you would have to use one wheel on the grinder at a time. Because of deep nicks on the blade from rocks or what ever, you may wear the grit off the wheel quite a bit. A ribbon sander with 60 or 80 grit would be better. Or even a metal file. That being said, I could do it, and do it well.

No! An angle grinder can be used to cut brick & tile;it can be used to cut galvanized fence pipe,cut off nails or bolts,grind down stone and wthe correctattachments to polish or smooth down a surface.I stongly feel you should try to get one with speed dial which cost more but well worth the control you maintain. have the Makita Model 9564cv 4 1/2 inch with speed control.

I don't see why not, I used it to polish concrete all the way down into the aggregate and most of that is rock. The tricky thing will be how you secure the gemstones and rocks in order to use the polisher on them.

The short answer is, yes. However I think you will run through a number of wheels before you get the job done.Are you cutting the brick or the laminate? If laminate, no problem. Just make sure you have the room to maneuver. If brick, an angle grinder might be a better alternative fitted with a compound blade.

It's a die grinder. Not made for that. Use a drill with a rotary wire brush. Use a slow speed buffer for buffing with a 5 to 7 inch pad. However, if you have those small rotary buffs from Eastwood - the kind you might buff a wheel or aluminum manifold with, it would be suitable.

I'd say that this could be used for salt (or pretty much any other spice). In case you consider it a better option (to complete the set), Olde Thompson has a matching salt grinder, I searched for "Olde Thompson Bavaria Salt Mill" and it's the first search result (3823-00 5 1/2" Bavaria Salt Mill). I have both of them and they have worked quite well so far.

Yes, but heavily cavioted. It really depends on the subsurface of the material that you have paint on as what do do. As with any grinder it is very aggressive by its very nature. If you are removing paint an rust from steel, then a wire wheel with the proper sheilding and face guard will work. Let the wheel work, dont bear down. From wood, I'd recommend a sanding disk and again with the proper sheilding and face guard

You could, potentially, if you found it has the same size as the glass base; although you risk damaging both products. The great thing about having the grinder fitted tightly to the glass base is that you have a good grip while grinding.

yes. grinders aren't real precise and messy, can't get up close to corners with them. these tools are amazing. I would try a hammer and chisel on thinset for such a small area. my .02

I bought it to cut ceramic tile which is much harder than brick. i have cur some slate with it, too. Although I have not tried it on brick I can't imagine you'd have any problem other than possible clearance (thickness) issues.

Yes. I am a floorlayer and I use it all the time for glass. Brick is nothing other than a ceramic so it will do fine. It might depend on the thickness of the brick, if you are cutting a house brick that might take two cuts, one from both sides. It will cut it.

I've never tried, but you can adjust the grinding mechanism from fine to coarse so I'm guessing you could.

I use it to trim, grind and cut off ceramic glaze from pottery. I would say, yes it can.

I've never tried but I believe that because the removal device is sharpened blades it wouldn't be a good idea to try that. Use a grinder with the appropriate concrete blade which are sold at any building supplies place or right here on amazon. Blade is normally used to level or brake down concrete so epoxy should be a breeze.
