Dustless Concrete Prep & Resurfacing
Offer mobile floor prep for garages, basements, and storefronts: remove laitance, glue, paint, and light coatings; flatten high spots; and profile slabs for epoxy or tile. Market the service as dust-controlled using the 7 in surfacing shroud with a HEPA-capable extractor (e.g., DWV012) to help reduce airborne silica and jobsite cleanup.
Tile Thinset and Coating Removal
Specialize in rapid, dust-managed removal of thinset ridges, leveling compound, and stubborn coatings after demo. The shroud’s universal connector streamlines setup across sites, letting you finish faster and leave spaces ready for installers with minimal cleanup time.
On-Site Countertop Polishing & Repair
Provide dust-controlled grinding and polishing of poured-in-place or precast concrete countertops and sinks in homes and restaurants. Use the shroud to minimize airborne dust in finished interiors while you correct chips, flatten seams, and refine finishes from honed to high-gloss.
Logo and Wayfinding Floor Engraving
Create custom floor branding, aisle markers, and safety zones by grinding crisp inlays into existing concrete, then fill with colored epoxy or stain. Promote the process as clean and business-friendly thanks to the shroud’s dust capture, enabling work during off-hours without disrupting operations.
DIY Dustless Grinder Kit Rental
Rent a bundled kit—large angle grinder, 7 in surfacing shroud, DWV012 extractor, hose, and consumables—with a quick-start guide on grit progression and dust-safe setup. Target homeowners and small contractors who need short-term, dust-controlled grinding without buying the full setup.
Creative
Exposed-Aggregate Coffee Table Top
Cast a concrete tabletop with decorative aggregates, then use a 7 in grinder with the surfacing shroud and a DWV012 dust extractor to grind and polish the surface, revealing stone and glass. The shroud’s flexible skirt keeps contact on slight surface variations, reducing airborne dust while you move from coarse to fine grits. Finish with a penetrating sealer for a modern, terrazzo-style look.
Terrazzo Garden Pavers
Make custom pavers using colored glass or marble chips. After curing, dry-grind the faces with the shroud attached to expose and level the aggregate. The 7 in coverage speeds up batches, and the twist-and-click hose connector lets you work uncluttered without taped fittings. Seal for outdoor durability and color pop.
Concrete Wall Relief Mural
Lay out a geometric or abstract design on a concrete or render-coated wall and shallow-grind channels to create a low-relief mural. The shroud helps contain silica dust at the source while you follow lines and curves, and its durable skirt maintains suction on uneven walls. Optionally fill grooves with tinted grout or epoxy for contrast.
Patio Game Board Inlay
Transform a concrete patio into a checker/chess board or hopscotch court by grinding crisp lines and shallow fields. Use the dust shroud to keep the area clean and neighbors happy, then stain or epoxy-fill the inlaid sections for a long-lasting outdoor game zone.
Industrial-Texture Planters
Cast large concrete planters, then use the grinder with the shroud to create brushed, faceted, or stippled textures. The shroud limits mess in small workshops and helps you keep consistent contact as you sweep around curved edges.
