WerkMaster Edging VS Planetary Floor Grinder
Edging and finishing corners on concrete floors with a concrete floor grinder can be frustrating and labor intensive. The planetary concrete grinder solution requires utilizing anything from being on your knees with a handheld grinder to an expensive walk behind modified hand grinder. Two machines…more labor, especially if the floor is being polished.
WerkMaster Edging
All WerkMaster machines edge to less than an1/8” (3mm) of the wall resulting in substantial reduction in time and labor costs. Once the first cut is achieved and the floor is properly abraded to the wall, each following step in the polishing process is no longer considered edging. The operator simply walks the machine down the wall.
Planetary Edging
Inherent with planetary technology is a side-to-side rocking motion. This prevents the grinder from being able to rotate at higher rpm’s and grind close to the wall. Edging can represent up to 40% of Labor especially on polished floors. Effectively edging to the wall requires using an additional piece of equipment. This equipment varies from a labor-intensive hand grinder to a modified walk behind edger. On polished floors, blending the two scratch patterns is time consuming, resulting in added labor costs.
Comparing Planetary vs. Multi-Disc Concrete Grinder Performance
Compare the difference in performance and results of Planetary Concrete Grinder Technology versus WerkMaster’s Multi-Disc Concrete Grinder Technology. First phase: Concrete Surface Prep – removing paint. Each grinder is moving at its own recommended manufactures pace for these conditions. The second phase is the planetary concrete floor grinder having to move at the same pace as the WerkMaster concrete floor grinder.
