The reason why you are not successful in UA-cam is because you are making many mistakes. Your video optimization is incorrect. You can talk to me if you want.

    Great tech talk, lots to unpack. Suggestion for the next topic. Rough surfaces!! How rough is too rough, stamped conc, stencil conc, tile glue both cement based and silicone based. Example deep bluestone stamped concrete should you even attempt, is there a way to lessen the impact on the machines with those scenarios. Context as prep for a seal, seemless or epoxy coating. And go!

    Great topic. Next week suggestions. Wet grinding!! What's everyone's experience with it. Full exposure, surface polish. Pros and cons for each. A more particular question has anyone over densified after metals and then basically wet grinded all the way up to target grit and then done one dry polish to finish. Kind of American inspired question. Cheers.

  • @chainsawlube
    @chainsawlube 2 місяці тому

    Next tech talk. Stages to leave a job at after first cut to when you come back post build/intra build to finish stages. Where and why would you stop the first process at? Both for full exposure, hit miss and surface polish. Also with floor covering or protection tips to add.

Sir, your videos do not have SEO Score (0/100). 2. No Title - Description - Tag SEO friendly 3.

    @adamsmith6731 5 місяців тому

    Each polishing job takes special consideration. I get the idea of knocking it back down but for the most part I think it’s unnecessary. There is plenty of time in between steps to apply enough densifier on most slabs to achieve a durable, long lasting satin finish with good stain resistance without back stepping.

    whats the purpose of spraying down densifier after grout coat and then the "lick coat"? Why not remove the grout coat fully with the metals then progress up to 100/200 grit then densify like normal? Im not really understanding the purpose?

    I have a grinder that doesnt have the option of running 6 tools per plate, only three. The concrete here on commercial projects is extremely hard with a black/blue burnished finish from power trowels. Most diamonds I run have a hard time cutting. What would you recommend for tooling to remove the hard cap? The grinder I have is a 25" with a 15hp motor and has 620lb head pressure fully weighted

    • @bryondaniow7753
      @bryondaniow7753 9 місяців тому

      You could run soft tooling and add a cutting agent. Worx+ Cut Sikk from Eno Supply in NC is awesome. If you can't get that then maybe soluble agent like C-Complex or cutting agents from the stone industries?

    • @freestylmx311
      @freestylmx311 9 місяців тому

      @@bryondaniow7753 I have generally broadcast silica sand with a light mist of water and that most often keeps the tools open and cutting in hard floors. I’ve never tried any products from worx except for the grouting liquid years back before Husqvarna bought out King Concepts. I’m guessing it’s the same stuff, just liquid polymer. I’d like to try the cut sik and see if it works better than damp sand

    Firstly love listening to these tech talks and love when mike has his teeth out. I used to end up putting the spoon drain effect in hallways. As i run a htc 650 hdx . If im going down a hallway and it’s 1200-1500 I used to run down each wall close than fan that ridge out but would overgrind the middle often when I checked it with a straightedge. Now I fan both sides about 150mm and have had really good success this way. I also would swap the ends the ends I go down and up the hallway. I’d always check this with a straight and swap the sides that I pass down. I always complete first cut usually in two passes not try and do it in one which I find give me a flatter finish. I get really good results doing this however it doesn’t mean it works for everyone, enjoy the weekend. Regards Paul

      The Pre-Filter can be vacuumed to give it a bit of extra life. However, the HEPA filter would need to be replaced as it is far too delicate to be cleaned with either.

  • @aarontooth

    Yeah when you've got that hard concrete, you really need to make sure your tool is adjusted for optimal performance. You don't want it adjusted soft, for those weak sands. Moisture is good, you gotta just go in there with those shielas, put some extra pressure on your tool, get the job done, get to where you need to be. Its good to have options, don't want to wear down your tool. Doubles are good too, twins are the best. Get your tool dialed in perfectly.

    You guys forgot to them about the important changes. Such as the upgraded satellite drum, that doesn't need a screwdriver wedged into a threaded hole to align the belt and then sealed up with copious amounts of silicone. Or, the motocycle chain welded to a ring that's as circular as a 50 cent piece. Then said chain is expected to run dry, as opposed to the new version of a lubricated free running chain on sprokets. What about the old planetary seal, consisting of a piece of rubber flat duct taped to side the side of the drum? Why would somebody spend 20k on all the upgrades for a Chinese made machine with 20 year old tech, that you guys also recommend servicing at 3 month intervals? Sorry, but l would rather buy a European made machine with current tech and long service intervals, that can do the same job at lower speeds.
