It’s been a busy year at Substrate Technology. We’ve added a lot of new products to our surface prep lineup — new machines, new diamond tooling, and more ways to help you get the job done right. If you haven’t checked in on us lately, here’s a look at some of what’s new, plus where to see everything in one place.
The Scorpion Hand Grinder
One of our newest machines is the Scorpion — a 7″ variable-speed hand grinder built for grinding and polishing right up to the edge. It’s designed for the detail work and tight spaces where full-size floor machines can’t reach: edges, corners, stairs, small rooms, and touch-up work.
With variable speed control from 2,700 to 6,200 RPM and a powerful 15-amp motor, the Scorpion gives you the control to move from aggressive grinding to fine polishing with a single, maneuverable tool. For contractors who need serious edge-grinding capability in a hand-held package, it’s a standout addition to the lineup.
New Pyramid Diamond Cup Wheel
Grinding hard concrete has always been one of the toughest challenges in surface prep — and our new 7″ Pyramid Diamond Cup Wheel is built specifically for it.
Its distinctive pyramid-style diamond segments are engineered for aggressive material removal, tearing through hard, dense concrete for heavy stock removal, coating removal, and floor leveling. Wide slots between the segments clear dust and debris as you work, and cooling holes through the body keep the wheel running cool for longer life. It’s available in 16 and 30 grit, with soft or extra-soft bonds designed to keep cutting on the hardest concrete — the surfaces that wear out ordinary cup wheels. Mounts on any hand grinder with a standard 5/8″-11 arbor.
If you’ve struggled to get a cup wheel to bite on hard concrete, this is the tool built to solve it.
