Construction World August 2017

Diamond Products recently launched its new Edge Grinder during

the Totally Concrete Expo at Gallagher Estate in May 2017. Concrete

flooring, whether it be as a substrate or as the final floor finish

requires extensive preparation and with the new Edge Grinder it

has introduced an easier and more cost effective way in achieving

the best end result possible for any contractor. It is ergonomically

designed and allows the end-user to grind a floor surface in an

upright position. This enables the operator to cover a larger surface

which in turn means that more production is achieved. The company

is confident in saying that this is the most efficient and productive

edge grinder currently in the market.

The machine consists of a standard 230 mm Makita grinder,

fitted with a dust shroud. It comes fitted with 180 mm diameter

diamond cup grinders, available in standard grits – coarse, medium

and fine. Transporting the edge grinder is of utmost ease, which

means site-access no longer constricts any contractor

With the mobility being improved by the handle, the operator can

also grind much closer to the edge of the floor, therefore reducing

standing time for the customer and ensuring higher productivity on

each and every site.

“This is only the beginning of exciting new products to come from

Diamond Products”, director Brian Clark says. “We are constantly

doing research into various market segments in order to give our

customers the best product, advice and after sales service – watch

this space”.
