High-Performance Grinder for Residential & Small Commercial Jobs

Our customers’ favorite little grinder! The Prep/Master® Jr. works extremely well in small, hard-to-reach areas that need a compact machine — perfect for residential garage floors and basements. It’s built for professional surface preparation and polishing, with a 23-inch grinding width and a powerful 7.5HP motor for consistent performance on small commercial and residential projects.

The moveable pocket weight system adjusts head pressure to the job, and the standard water tank makes it easy to switch from dry to wet work. Recommended for project sizes up to 1,000 SF (100m²).

Ready to put the PM Jr. to work? Call for pricing and availability, or request a quote — you’ll talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center.

Improved and Tested Before It Ships

The Prep/Master Jr. isn’t a cheap import pulled off a shelf. Before it ever reaches you, we improve it:

  • Upgraded couplers — we replace the cheap rubber couplers with better, more durable ones built to hold up to real work
  • Better tool plates — for more reliable tooling attachment and performance
  • An improved water valve — for better control during wet grinding
  • Every component tested — we test every component and run the machine before it ships, so it arrives ready to work

And it doesn’t stop at the sale. We back the Jr. with genuine parts, real service, and surface-prep experts a phone call away — support a cheap import simply can’t match. Weighing the Jr. against a cheaper import? See what you’re really paying for →
