Close to the Edge
Something that just came up on a call with a client that I thought I’d write about is edge grinding. Some of the more popular lines of floor grinders out there can only get to within one inch of the wall. So, if you’re using one of those grinders, you’ll have to use a separate edge grinder to do the entire perimeter of the room, to even out the grind.
Some people don’t consider this when making their grinder purchase. As a result, you may be disappointed to find that your new grinder doesn’t get particularly close to the wall. Since this is not something that always comes up, I thought it might be a good idea to make mention of it. Unless you’re looking to buy BOTH a grinder, AND an edge grinder, make sure your new floor grinder will take you within about 1/8 of an inch of the wall.
