- Over 1600 LIKES! Learn the complete Step by Step process on how to remove an epoxy coating, repair cracks and fill pin holes and polish a concrete floor with a WerkMaster EDGE concrete floor grinder. Why do we call this the Best DIY Video? Because it demonstrates in 7 minutes the beginning to end process that will help most contractors and DIY enthusiasts determine if tackling a polished concrete floor is viable for them. Although this video features The Edge, the Step-by-Step process will also benefit planetary concrete grinder and rotary drive grinder users. Follow along with Frank Sommers as he explains the process.
You will learn how to remove epoxy paint, yellow safety lines, grind with metal bond tools, repair cracks, fill small pits and pin holes to improve durability, maintenance and shine during the densifying stage. See how to edge and deal with corners.
The polishing process starts at 200 Grit resins through the 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 Grit stages followed by how to seal the floor.
Have Questions? Frank has over 20 years experience running both planetary, rotary and multi-disc concrete floor grinders. Leave a comment and Frank will be happy to respond, or email Frank at support@werkmaster.com

excellent video describing the process and what each step achieves thank you
Glad it was helpful Amelie!
Looks like a straight forward concrete polishing system. Love the fact that it is dustless! Nice work! That polished concrete floor would look great in my basement!
Thank you. Yes, it is nice to have polished concrete in a basement. Dustless grinding and sanding, when attached to appropriate HEPA vacuum system, is just wonderful.
Wow nice
Nice detailed information, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Video Looks Great! Good Job! I can see the reflection in the Polished Concrete. This video is great for how to polish concrete and polished concrete.
Great video on Polishing Concrete! The final result is great!
Thank you!
Yes, the Polished Concrete has a great reflection and clarity to it.
Thanks! WebStarter! check out the Polished Concrete video for the WerkMaster Scarab. It removes epoxy and polishes concrete!
I want to rent one of those!
Same here!!
EXCELLENT!!
Great job on making a grinder that gets so close to the wall I haven’t see one sense late 90 or early 2000s oh an If you did the patching differently you can get rid of a whole step and the floor will look better and your pads will last longer
Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for the feedback on the patching!
Amazing... 👍
Great videos thanks

We boughted one machine last week ,and will receive it this week from Vancouver, i will let you know how good it is. Thank you. TSST inc.
@@KTIIbot hey, did it workout?
@@ladysaw9995 sold the unit very fragile machine. Prepare to spend lots of money on repair
Price?
Can yall do it on super hard concrete i always see all these videos on soft concrete
Can't help but notice, the comment section is full of replies, except for this question... This and whenever someone utters the question, "Price?".
Good Question, The Edge costs $7245.00 USD.
Our customers use the EDGE on 8.5 to 9.0 hard floors. On floors this hard, we recommend our Gold Bond Tooling with special diamonds that are specifically designed for these types of floors. After any coatings are removed, we recommend using our Mist & Go System for the 30/40 & 70/80 Grit metal bond stage. Pump up sprayer with medium mist. Enough to wet the floor without leaving water on the surface. We do the same at the 100 Grit Achromic stage prior to densifying.
How about pouring clear epoxy as against polishing the hard way
What ever system floats your boat Eric! Thanks for watching!
What oscillating tool did you use and what head?
How much per square foot of concrete polich is worth
Hi Jimmy, it depends on a number of factors; 1. Is there anything on the concrete to be removed? ie. Epoxy, thinset, VCT or carpet glue, paint, stains, etc. 2. What is the hardness of the concrete? Soft, Medium or Hard? 3. What level of shine are you trying to achieve? Matt, semi-gloss or high gloss finish? 4. Are you planning to dye the floor? 5. Are there cracks in the floor? 6. What is the square footage of the floor to be polished? 7. Is it a residential or commercial place? 8. Are there multiple rooms, closets, kitchen area, bathroom?
If you can clarify these points, we can then provide you with a price range for the work.
What would be an average amount of time to do a 2 car garage? it seems like a lot of steps. Can it be done in one day? Trying to see the cost advantage versus doing epoxy.
Hello John, I would give yourself 2-4 days depending on final level of desired sheen. If you already have a nice looking floor, then it will go faster. If you floor has seen a better day, then you will need to work it more with the machine! Good luck with your project!
Do you recommend a particular grinding pattern to use the machine? I have seen cases where some areas are over grinded with a single pass of the machine, because of the position of the tools itself.
Hi, in some situations you can use a sideways circular motion to avoid this problem on some floors. We call it a feathering motion.
Would using glass with aggregate work, too?
Absolutely. Results can be quite nice. gives it a terrazzo look.
Can I use this machine prior to epoxy? I know it’s designed for polishing but can I also use it to scratch the concrete surface to give the epoxy a good surface to grab into?
Absolutely, it is an excellent machine for delivering a CSP 3 profile (concrete surface profile) which epoxy manufacturers require so that their product does not fail.
how do i grind and then get a matt finish? stop at the 100 grit then apply a sealer with a matt finish?
you can stop at 100 or 200 grit for matt finish.
Good
how can i buy this; i am in Cambodia. how much is it? my number is +855 12 299 281 call me please
how can i to buy this machine? i'm from VietNam
Wow. That’s quite a machine! Any rentals out there?
Hello Ogie, Thanks for the kind words. In Canada they are available at Safety Express.
@@WerkMasterConcreteStone Are these machines and products available in UK and ROI? What is the average cost of the floor if doing DIY instead of direct labour?
Do you still sell this product in the UK? I would really like to hire one.
Thanks for the feedback. We do not sell this product in the UK but we encourage you to ask your local hire shop to bring one in!
What does mean the 69 value on the tester at the end of the video ? and what kind of tester is that ! Great Video thank you
Thanks Leandro for the feedback! The 69(considered high gloss) represents the gloss level of the floor. A gloss level meter is used to test the mechanical polish of a floor. Gloss Level Meters are used to validate that the floor has been mechanically polished vs just being sealed and "shinny".
@@WerkMasterConcreteStone What gloss range value of a sealed floor vs the mechanically polish floor ?
@@leandronesi9519 They are usually pretty close when polishing to a high grit level like 3000.
It mean is ready for the 69 position 👩❤️💋👨
How long would this take to do a 1000 sq foot basement?
On clean concrete that is flat and smooth, going from 30 grit to 1500 would take about 2 days
How much is the messin
Can this be rented
the 16# sharks are referred to 16 inches?
The #16 is referring to the grit!
We polished a floor and did all this but the floor when you mop it at the end the dust won’t remove what is the cause of this? We been doing epoxy for a long time 10+years but polishing this floor is the first thing that we have had a problem with we tried ph neutral soap and it still doesn’t help
Hi Chicago, did you densify the floor during the polishing process? What sealer did you use on the floor?
Yes ofc we been doing epoxy for 10+ years but this has never happened. We used densifier and sealer protector. We are pros but not pros pros and we need big time help from another person who’s educated in this
Could it have been that they mopped the floor before sweeping? I mean idk this just doesn’t add up the steps were all done the right way
@@chicago4809 Do you have any photos you could send to us? info@werkmaster.com
What type of patching compoumd did you use?
We use ARDEX SDM
Can i put this before epoxy, and how long does it take to dry?
@@santosdaniel5831 Let dry overnight
Thank you
How much does this machine cost?
The EDGE costs $6995.00 plus tooling.
“60/80’s to 100 resins”
Not 120 metals, or 50 hybrids, Mach or ceramic 100’s…
That’s a bad call. That’s why homie polished the floor with the 100’s for a day in that little room and had to “drop down” to 100 resins again after applying densifier.
What’s the head pressure on that little baby toy machine?
That is correct Russell! We have moved away from the older copper based transitions tools(hybrids) and use our Achromic resins! New technology that eliminates many steps while giving you excellent results! Our technology doesn't get stuck on head pressure. Speed and good quality bonds and industrial diamonds are what give us results!
I wish you'd do a time-lapse of an entire job. How do you know you've completed a step? Do you have to crawl around on your knees looking sideways at the floor? This seems far from idiot-proof, that one must be a sorta artist to do this.
Hello Federal Farmer. We would be happy to go in more detail on how to polish concrete using our system. Please reach out at support@werkmaster.com.
Ok qi
This seven minutes video felt like seven hours process. I will pass on this machine because it need so much time and steps to operate it.
Hello M.A. We did not want to make this process look to easy because transforming a worn out epoxy coated slab from zero to hero is hard work! Our systems can save you up to 40% in edging labour alone but sometimes bringing in the Pro's is a good idea if one is not up to the challenge.
then you should have watch a video of how to install carpet flooring
polishing concrete regardless of what machine you use takes a really long time. this was one of the fastest jobs I've seen so far. they kept it short and sweet. I like that the machine's close edging saves you time from hand grinding!
I reported your commercial, this is not what youtube is for!
Thanks for the heads up Ken. This is a DIY video and used at our training schools. Not sure what part you found to be a commercial, but would love to hear back. Reach us at support@werkmaster.com
