A floor grinding machine is a tool used to remove material from a floor surface, typically to level it, create a smooth finish, or remove coatings. It uses abrasive wheels or discs that rotate at high speeds to grind down the floor surface. These machines can be used on various types of flooring like concrete, wood, marble, granite, and terrazzo.
Scarifiers use a drum of cutters (flails) which rotate at high speed impacting the surface to provide an aggressive “cut” to the surface. Material is removed by a chipping action as the cutter impacts the surface. Floor planers allow you to control the depth of cut more precisely than with scabblers.
