Techniques for properly operating concrete polishing machines and dust collection equipment. This video covers basic operations of polishing equipment including how the equipment is used, the types of diamond pads and grits to use, power requirements, safety precautions, and the proper speed to run the machine when polishing. Begin the grinding with a coarse diamond polishing pad making one pass over the entire surface area before moving on to finer diamond pads. Coarser diamond polishing pads are typically a metal-bond, meaning the diamonds are suspended in a metal. Resin bond polishing pads are suspended in a resin and create a finer grit. Also consider power requirements at the job site. Smaller polishers require 220 single-phase power while the larger equipment require 480 three-phase power. This means you may need to rent a 45 kilowatt generator for the concrete polishing machine.
