How to Finish Concrete Edges

To finish concrete edges, we recommend using our EasyEdge™ Edger Diamonds. When using any EasyEdge Diamond, don’t apply any downward force to the angle grinder. Let the wheel do the grinding.

Most Common Concrete Edge Finishing Process

This process will generally match a floor that has been polished to 800 grit.

2. 270 grit Easy Edge Diamond for a matte finish, or 400 grit for a glossy finish.

Finishing Uneven Concrete Edges and Low Spots

For concrete edges that are uneven and have low spots, we recommend EdgeFlex™ Flexible Edger. The EdgeFlex can be used with our adapter or placed on an existing foam adapter. The EdgeFlex is not as aggressive as the EasyEdge™, so downward force must be applied for it to grind properly and reach all the low spots. The finishing process for the EdgeFlex is the same as finishing process for the EasyEdge.

Finishing Concrete Corners, Door Jambs, and Stairs

For grinding and polishing concrete corners, stairs, and door jambs look no further than the BSD Corner Tool.

It is compatible with most multi-tool machines and is available in 30, 50, 100, 200, and 400 grits. 

To prevent overheating, use in 3-5 minute bursts on low speed while applying light pressure; wet grinding is preferred.
