Concrete polishing is more than the next wave in surface treatment - it is a tidal wave that has impacted the flooring industry on a global scale. With this renaissance toward an economical, attractive, environmentally friendly and highly reflective (therefore energy saving) treatment of floor surfaces has come a myriad in styles of grinder/polishers and an equal array of companies who manufacture them.

The final frontier in resurfacing existing floors, however, remains how to deal with the edges: how to get close enough to the wall; how to match the appearance of the edgework with the rest of the floor; how to eliminate the back-breaking work on hands and knees, with your nose too close to a dusty operation. Several devices have come on the market that serve as an extension tool for the standard angle grinder and polisher, but the challenge with these devices is how to make them agile enough that they allow the operator to feel and control the edging operation as effectively as he would if he were down on the floor in direct contact with the surface and the hand grinder.

Kut-Rite’s EDGEKutter™ is an extension tool that was designed from the ground up to address this issue. The tee handle on the EDGEKutter™ is ergonomically designed to allow the operator to use the machine from either side and can be adjusted to accommodate the height and comfort of any person. A second handle employs a throttle style grip that controls the pitch of the grinder in the same way an operator would if he had direct contact with the floor and gives him complete feel and control over the surface from a comfortable standing position.

The Kut-Rite EDGEKutter™ easily adapts to any brand of hand grinder or polisher and comes equipped with a state of the art shroud and a rubber dust seal with a front hook/loop-fastened flap that can be pulled off for extremely close edging. A vacuum hose easily mounts to the shroud’s dust port and passes through a bracket/draw latch assembly that keeps it (and the power cord) from getting in the way of the work.

Rocker pivot suspension is employed at the rear axle to help the EdgeKutter™ maneuver over undulations in concrete to achieve the same flatness on the edges that is obtained by the large grinder in the central floor area.

When powered up, the EDGEKutter™ effortlessly floats in infinite directions and turns on a dime, guided by two non-marking swivel casters. The complete grinder and guidance mechanism is safely and compactly tucked away under a cover and does not get in the way of the operator’s feet during maneuvering. It is accurate enough to make touch ups in central areas that the larger machine might have left behind. In terms of safety, efficiency, accuracy and the elimination of worker fatigue, an investment in an EDGEKutter™ pays for itself many times over.

Kut-Rite sells this machine in a stand alone version with grinder or polisher and in package offerings with its own brand of diamond cup wheel, MetalEDGE™ metal rings that are available in 30, 60 and 150 grit and/or a full set of EDGEKutter™polishing rings.

The complete system is also available in packages that include the KleanRite™ reverse flow vacuum.
