    Thanks for the inspiration. I made a dust collector for the 180mm grinder out of a plastic bucket and tape. Works perfectly, zero dust in the room despite small and non remarkable rough vacuum cleaner. It's a one off job having no patience waiting for something ordered, only took 10min to make.

    Hi. Great videos. Question to you: I have a garage with concrete floor. Is it possible to use same type of grinder to make slope to drainage? This since I want to install drainage inntre floor to collect water from the my cars. My floor is made to be level and not with any type of slope.

    • @MrYoucandoityourself
      @MrYoucandoityourself  9 місяців тому

      I'm not entirely sure, as garage concrete tends to be quite sturdy. To determine if there is any slope, you should use a rope or laser to check each side. If necessary, you can add more concrete to create a steeper slope. However, this is just an estimate and should be confirmed before proceeding.

    Did some self leveler, one spot I must have pushed a little when the other was drying so I have a small higher spot 2ftx2ft maybe 0.15” high. Going to grind it. How long do I have to wait for the leveler to set before grinding? Did the leveler today around 1-2:30pm so can I grind tomorrow morning or is it too soon? Or how long should I wait? Thanks again

      Hi Steve, concrete should be drying well, because if it’s wet, your abrasive material will disappear. Next day is fine, just put air fan to that areas to be sure it’s dry completely.

    When you grind with the dust shroud, the shroud stops you from grinding an inch from the wall. The shroud gets in the way. Do you take off the shroud to grind the last inch next to the wall? Or just leave it?

      Depending on the model the bottom laser is about 1/4 inch from the floor. Using the vertical laser line you should be able to see the extreme high spots as the high spots will shadow any location directly behind the high spot.

    How do I know if a store-bought laser level will show the hide spots like the areas your sanding? Every laser level I've seen....when set on the flor....just throws 2 line a left to right and top to bottom line and it's always like an inch off the ground. I want a laser level to sit on the floor and throw the line really close to the floor like yours.
    I'd order it online but I need it today...

  • @kurtbilinski1723
    @kurtbilinski1723 2 роки тому +7

    The problem is that the bottom laser on nearly all of these units is 7-12mm above the floor. That's a shame because large tile need a floor leveled better than this. Yes, spacers and/or scales can be used, but it would be so nice if the unit sent out a beam maybe 3mm (1/8") above the floor, then you could grind or mark the floor as was done, but with a far tighter tolerance. Oh, well, someday.

      Hi Kurt. This laser bottom transmitter 6 mm from the ground. I guess, this Idea what I showed in my opinion is great. For leveling compound it’s exactly what we need. We always not happy with anything. This is human truth. If you need 3mm you can measure it from the transmitter on the top of laser. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    This method can get you in trouble, not help level? You will grind until the green is gone means you will grind to the deepest hole" or is the green the raised part? You want to find the level of the old foundation and grind to this point, I would think. I think it can be helpful, and I think you have an EXCELLENT channel thats helped a lot.
