why is learning how to buy and use power tools so fucking hard for no reason
#it shouldn't be!! it feels like it should be very easy!! AND YET#'for this kind of task and project you will need an angle grinder. angle grinder is the tool for grinding and cutting.'#'here is how to use an angle grinder for cutting'#oh okay rad :)#[orders an inexpensive but brand name and well reviewed angle grinder] [reads instructions] [it expressly forbids using it for cutting]#hey man what the fuck!! how could I possibly have avoided this!!#nowhere on the listing or the packaging or anywhere does it say 'THIS tool that in general is for cutting and grinding is NOT for cutting'#why is that even A THING what the FUCK#why is the cheaper and as far as I can tell worse everything one at harbor freight allowed to cut but not this one#this has been my experience CONSTANTLY it's so FRUSTRATING#I want to be a Tools Guy and a home DIYer but no one has ever shown me how to do it#and getting a foot in the door being self taught is so fucking weird and impenetrable for no fucking reason#anyway NOW I know to look up the manual before buying one. because sometimes The Tool For Cutting is not for cutting. fuck off#about me

Pro-gamer!Gojo, Geto, Sukuna, and Toji
Writing this on my phone because life been putting me thru a meat grinder and i dont have the time to write an actual fic so i'mma ramble about the fic i been writing in my head when i dissociated
Imagine e-sport AU JJK
Youre a girl that's joining a 5 members first person shooter esport team call Curse Technique (CTQ) cuz women respresantation in esport fucking damn it
Your teammates are Gojo (Sixeyes), Geto (spiriteater), Sukuna (malevolent), and Toji (topji)
Theyre all streamers turn pro-gamers and are the most cocky bastard alive. The have never lose a single tournament ever since the game launched.
They got scouted by CTQ organizations from their stream when the game first launch
They fight each other for the second position on the leader board.
Note how i say second
Because someone with the in-game name KandyCat have the top position. Undefeated. Many have tried. But they cant even come close to thag ranking score
And goddamn did the 4 of them tried. They did a 1 week subathon with the sole purpose of tryna take the number 1 spot. They got their ass handed to them by said KandyCat in their solo rank games. So they temporarily gave up.
They always curios who this KandyCat is tho, becaude they are not a streamer, there are nothing about them on the internet beside the fact that theyre number one on the game leaderboard.
Over times, their curiosity and completitiveness against KandyCat before some sort of admiration and obsession. They really want to know who this person is and learn from them.
Now let's talk about when the team manager introduced you to them.
They thought you were their new assistant. They were expecting their last teamate would be another well known streamer or pro-player
The disbelief on their face when your manager said "this is y/n, she's your 5th member and also will be your in-game leader"
You almost let out a snicker
They threw a tantrum. That's for sure. Not cuz youre a girl. It's cuz theyre prideful as fuck
They cant fathom how a literal no body, someone they never heard of before, be their leader?!? Theyre literally the top 5 players of the game. Impossible. No. If leader is one of them, the rest will be bitter but they still relinquish. But their leader is someone they have never heard of before??? They wont stand for this
No. They refused "she can be our leader if she can beat all 4 of us in 1v1s" sukuna scoff and for the first time theyre all in agreement about something.
"Sure!" You said "let's make it more fun by placing a bet, whoever win get a wish from the loser"
Your manager, nanami, just sigh a long sigh and let yall duke it out on the game.
You logged into your account (y/n0nt0p) and gojo immediate poke fun of you "after this you should chsnge it to y/nthebottom"
They were all so confident. Already thinking of what their wish gonna be.
LOL MAN DID THEY GOT THEIR ASS HANDED TO THEM
They could not even land a shot on you
For the first time in their career they went negative on their Kill Death ratio. It was tragic. You were abusing mechanic they have never seen before. Taking angle they didnt know exist. Shooting through wall they didnt know were made out of paper.
They were floored
Complete. Utter. Defeated.
"How?" Toji, the last one to went against you, ask in disbelief.
" You surely dont think this is my main account right? I dont even have any cosmetic on here" you said with a smirk, hinting to them that this isnt the account you will be competing under.
Nanami let out another sign, he need painkiller after this "if you would let me finish introduced her before throwing a tantrum, you coulda save your pride." He said while shaking his head "y/n will be competing under an alias "KandyCat" or Cat, she specifically put in the contract that she does not want her identity to be out in the public including her appearance so----"
"KANDYCAT?!" Gojo shouted cutting nanami off once again.
"The. KandyCat??? Number one player on the leader board. That KandyCat?" Getou said, not believing his ears
Poor men.... theyre going thru so many shocking things in one day. It's like their word just got turned upside down.
Honestly, i havent thoughts about it after this but it would be fun to be like a choose your own adventure fic. Where they all fell head over heel for you over the course of the competitive season.

tell me about stained glass
yay!! it's so fun i can't wait to do it again i'm gonna tell you the whole process
so first you need to pick out your pattern/draw the design, make sure there's no weak points (lines directly through the entire piece etc)
once that's set you get to pick out your glass :D some glass is thicker than others but it doesn't matter too much unless you want it to be all the same, there's lots of different textures as well whcih can look really cool
next step is to trace the pattern into the pieces, you wanna go for the edge of the glass to save as much as possible for future projects, and if it's too opaque you need to either use a light box or cut out that part of the pattern
when it's all traced you're gonna start cutting. so get your little tool, make sure you're standing in order to get the pressure and right angle
this is the glass cutter ^^
now you gotta smooth that shit down so here's this guy
he's a glass grinder he sands down the sides into the right shape and makes sure you don't cut yourself as much. the bit is in the middle and you hold the glass with ur fingers and press it into the bit to grind it down
next is foiling but before that is cleaning bc the grinder has water in it and it mixes with the glass particles and makes it all icky so get some glass cleaner and wipe it down with a cloth
now time for foiling
this is copper foil, it comes in rolls with different thicknesses. generally one size fits most glass but thicker ones need thicker foil so it covers the side and equally on the front and back of the glass
i tend to start near a corner, then you're going to wrap it around being careful that the glass goes in the middle of the foil. once it's wrapped around once make sure it overlaps with the beginning about 1/4-1/2 inch, here you cut it
press the foil down on the sides and top and bottom of the glass, then get some kind of tool (can be anything tbh even a pencil or ruler) and rub the foil into the glass so it is fully pressed down
(random piece i found on the internet with foiled glass)
onto soldering :D
once it's foiled you're going to put the pieces together how you want them to lay in the final product. first is tacking, aka putting a small amount of solder on the intersections of glass. before soldering anything you need to put flux on the section you are soldering. (btw solder only sticks to foil not glass) flux basically is a liquid that prevents oxidation on the copper foil, making the solder stick.
there's lead free and leaded solder, i've only worked with lead free but many professional stained glass artists use leaded. it acts a bit differently when soldering but works just as well.
after tacking is the actual soldering. basically you take a stick of solder and a soldering iron and hold the solder right behind the iron so it melts and sort of drips down the edge of the iron onto the foil as you bring your iron across the foil. once you solder one side, flip it over and do the other, then the sides which is a bit different, with more tacking
after soldering you gotta clean it cuz it's dirty again so head to the sink and get some soap and a brush and scrub that shit off
then if you want you can add patina which can make the solder black or other colors i think
then there's polishing which you just scrub on with a cotton pad, you can buff it after this with just a cloth to make it extra shiny but yeah that itttt
ty for letting me rant about this if you have any more questions lemme know <3

Japanese plane setup (Wilbur’s version) - 8: sharpening, flatness, and cutting corners
I won't sugarcoat this. Sharpening a used Japanese plane blade is a bit of a chore, because of the less than ideal condition the blade will be in.
Your best friend will be a sharpening jig of some sort that can hold the plane blade, and a coarse diamond plate. The jig is for convenience. You're going to have to spend time holding the blade at your desired angle on the bevel side. This gets old fast. The coarse diamond plate is for quick removal of steel without dishing out the surface of your sharpening media. I love my waterstones, but the reality is that between the time I'll have to spend on the tool and the fact that coarser waterstones tend to dish out faster means that having sharpening media that won't dish out is the better option.
I'll start by using the coarse diamond plate to work on the back and bevel.
Again, this will take time. But there are some things to do make things better. I generally keep an eye on the second hand of the clock in my shop, and make sure that I work the tool for 60 seconds before checking it. This doesn't really speed things up, but it makes sure that I'll make a visible amount of progress. There's nothing more discouraging than working the tool, then checking it, and not seeing any progress.
Second, I'll use my grinder to remove metal from the soft layer if needed. This is far faster than using my diamond plate to do that, and if I am careful to make sure that the grinder wheel is only touching the soft metal layer, there's less chance of overheating the hard layer and drawing out the temper. This method is most useful if I'm increasing the bevel angle of the blade. In this situation, the jig will be set up so that the cutting edge touches the sharpening media first, and it's fast to get through the hard layer. But once the bevel expands into the soft layer, things slow down. This is when I'll use the grinder to remove a little of the bulge of soft metal on the bevel.
Conversely, if I wanted to lower the bevel angle, the top part of the soft metal layer on the bevel will touch the sharpening media first. I could use the diamond plate to get rid of this, but a grinder will be faster. In this case, I would position the grinder wheel so that it touches the top part of the soft layer.
Third, when working the back of the blade, don't be shy about tapping out. As scary as tapping out may seem, it's faster than just using the diamond plate.
Finally, use some method of visualizing the plane blade so you can really see how you're progressing.
After a while, the bevel and back will be worked by the coarse diamond plate, leaving flat surfaces on the back and bevel with coarse scratches. The rest of sharpening will be to get rid of the coarse scratches.
Here's where the importance of flatness comes in. I've found that there's a stereotype of Japanese tool fans being obsessed with flatness when sharpening. It's not a fascination with flatness for its own sake. It's because making sure that all your sharpening media is flat means that you'll get through the next steps quickly. It's all about efficiency.
Here's why. All sharpening media, except for diamond plates, has the potential to dish out in use. If the sharpening media is dished out, it will leave a slightly convex surface on the tool. When it's time to move on to the next step in sharpening, the convex surface will not match the surface of the next step unless you got really lucky. That means it will take longer to cover the surface with the new sharpening media.
The way to avoid this is to make sure that your sharpening media is flat. If the sharpening media is flat, then the surface of the tool will be flat when you're done with that step. And if the sharpening media for the next step is flat, then they will match, and it will take little time to complete the subsequent steps.
I've found this to be true in practice. I haven't timed myself, but the first step I use for sharpening seems to take 85-90% of the total time, and the subsequent steps are quite fast.
In any case, eventually I get to the last step in sharpening, on my finest grit waterstone.
And I can place the sharpened plane blade into the body.
There are a couple of issues that still need addressing. The first is that the blade sits too low with just hand pressure. I generally want the blade to sit about 1/16" short of the mouth with just hand pressure, which means that it will take just a few taps with a hammer to get the blade into cutting position. On this plane, I can get the blade past the mouth with just hand pressure.
The second is that the corners of the blade extend to the outside of the throat of the plane. This will cause problems, as the corners of the blade would create a shaving, but then that part of the shaving would get hung up because there's nowhere for it to go.
Dealing with the position will wait until we work on the bed of the plane body. Dealing with the corners is straightforward. The first thing to do is to mark the blade so we know where the throat will be. This can be done by using a pencil to draw a line where the inside of the throat meets the back of the plane blade.
The lines are clearly visible after taking the blade out.
Then I grind down the corners until they are just inside those lines.
And now the cutting edge doesn't stick out past the sides of the throat anymore. As you use a Japanese plane and sharpen it, the width of the cutting edge will widen over time, and at some point you'll have to grind the corners back.

Wednesday
October 23rd, 2024
First thing I did today was prep the pieces I cut last time. I used the angle grinder with the grinding disk and quickly went over each of the edges.
I didn't get all the mill scale off but I don't care. This is for practice welding, not practice grinding! I was anxious to get started.
Then I tacked five pieces together to form practice plate #4 (PP4)!
Lol, my tack welds. These always crack as I'm filling in the groove. I need a lesson on how to do better tack welds.
Then I did a root pass. I accidentally broke the arc partway through, but I cleaned up the slag and continued. It looks okay on the upper toe; not much undercut! Voids on the bottom toe though, I think.
Then I did a fill pass:
Immediately I knew my work angle was wrong because the profile of this bead was quite flat (relative to the groove).
The next few fill passes kinda helped disguise that because they were able to sit atop the first pass and flatten out the overall profile of this layer.
Here you can see some low spots caused by unsteady hand and inconsistent fill :)
The next layer of fill passes was also mildly flat.
It's kinda flat? Also, I know--that last one is just gross. But it'll get covered up! However, the voids might stay...
Then finally the cap layer. Ugh. It is always so unnerving and didfficult to do that first cap pass. In this case it was quite saggy and squiggly which was greatly disheartening.
The next cap pass was also squiggly because I did not have a steady hand and at the very beginning the wire kinda sputtered and then broke/restarted the arc, and a lump was formed.
The third and last pass of the cap had a ton of undercut (forgot to get a picture!) and/or underfill so I brought it to Javier to look at and he said "Do one more pass where the undercut is"
So I did that and thought it was equally bad and undercutty, but Javier said it was a lot less jagged and actually not really undercut because there were no steep/notched valleys formed.
So in the end the only flaws were that spazzy lump in the second cap pass (excessive reinforcement), and the fact that the toes of the first cap pass could be less pronounced/saggy, and more smooth. Javier said if I increase my travel speed it will be less saggy.
He also said "a weld that looks good is not the same as a good weld" but I said "ok well how am I supposed to judge my welds on anything other that how it looks; I don't have the ultrasonic technology" and he said "we will cut open these and check" and i said "ok well until then i have no idea what I'm doing :)"
So THEN I started on a second groove on PP4. I did a root pass that seemed to look pretty decent.
Idk why this weird porosity is here. I checked the gas but it was working fine.
Then I tried to choose the best angle for the filler pass. I think it turned out better than the one I did on the first groove. The profile was less flat. My strategy was to aim the electrode slightly above the bottom toe edge of the root pass, and hold the gun at an almost perpendicular angle to the plate. I tilted it just the slightest amount up, but visually it still looked perpendicular.
I think this strategy is better than what I was doing before!
Then I cleaned up because I wanted to catch the 8:25pm BART.

Mower Decks And Cancer Research - How I Spent My Weekend
Spent the weekend tackling a riding mower deck replacement after endless repair woes. Also, here's how I’m using my computer to fight cancer.
All Decked Out I spent this weekend working on the riding mower. The deck has been badly torn up in the last couple of years, to the point where I couldn’t bang out the dents any more. I’d resorted to cutting out sections with an angle grinder, but in the end, I think that just made things worse. Even the guide wheels were splayed out at odd angles. Diana and I weighed repairing the deck vs.…

Sharpening the Brush Cutter Blades
Sharpening your brush cutter blades is crucial for maintaining their efficiency. Follow these steps to ensure your blades are razor-sharp:
Using a Flat File
Secure the Blade: Place the blade in a vice or clamp to keep it stable.
File the Cutting Edge: Hold the flat file at the same angle as the blade’s bevel. Use smooth, even strokes to file the cutting edge, working from the base to the tip. Maintain a consistent angle to ensure an even edge.
Check for Sharpness: After a few strokes, check the blade’s sharpness. Continue filing until the edge is sharp.
Balance the Blade: Once the blade is sharpened, check its balance. An unbalanced blade can cause excessive vibration and wear. Hang the blade on a nail through the center hole; if one side dips, file the heavier side until the blade balances evenly.
Using a Bench Grinder
Prepare the Grinder: Ensure the bench grinder is equipped with a grinding wheel suitable for sharpening blades.
Grind the Blade: Hold the blade against the grinding wheel at the correct angle. Use light pressure and move the blade back and forth to avoid overheating the metal.
Cool the Blade: Periodically dip the blade in water to keep it cool and prevent overheating.
Check for Sharpness and Balance: As with the flat file method, check the sharpness and balance of the blade.
Lubricating the Blades
After sharpening, it’s important to lubricate the blades to prevent rust and keep them in good working condition. Apply a light coating of lubricant oil to the blade, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Reassembling the Brush Cutter
Once your blades are cleaned, sharpened, and lubricated, it’s time to reassemble your brush cutter. Follow these steps:
Reattach the Blade: Secure the blade back onto the brush cutter using the wrench or socket set. Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely.
Reconnect the Power Source: Reconnect the brush cutter to its power source or reattach the spark plug.
Test the Brush cutter: Start the brush cutter and let it run for a few minutes to ensure everything is functioning properly. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations.
Regular Maintenance Tips
To keep your speed feed trimmer head in top condition, follow these regular maintenance tips:
Clean the blades after each use: This prevents the buildup of debris and sap, which can dull the blades.
Inspect the blades regularly: Look for signs of wear, nicks, or damage. Replace the blades if necessary.
Sharpen the blades periodically: Depending on usage, you may need to sharpen the blades every few weeks or months.
Lubricate the blades: After cleaning and sharpening, always apply a light coat of lubricant to prevent rust.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with regular maintenance, you may encounter some common issues with your brush cutter blades. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:
Blade Dullness: If the blade isn’t cutting efficiently, it’s likely dull. Sharpen the blade following the steps outlined above.
Excessive Vibration: This can be caused by an unbalanced blade. Check the blade’s balance and file the heavier side if needed.
Overheating: Overheating can occur if the blade isn’t properly lubricated or if you’re using too much pressure while cutting. Ensure the blade is well-lubricated and let the brush cutter cool down periodically.
Conclusion
Maintaining and sharpening your brush cutter blades is essential for efficient and effective yard work. By following these steps, you can ensure your blades remain sharp, balanced, and in excellent condition. Regular maintenance not only improves your brush cutter’s performance but also extends its lifespan, making your investment worthwhile.

Finishing Touches
Once you have installed your cut metal fence posts, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure they are properly finished. This will not only enhance the look of your fence but also protect it from rust and prevent any injuries caused by sharp edges. In this section, we will cover two essential finishing touches that should be applied to your cut metal fence posts: smoothing edges and applying rust protection.Smoothing EdgesWhen working with cut metal fence posts, it is common for sharp edges to be left behind. These edges not only create an unattractive appearance but can also pose a safety hazard. Smoothing edges is a straightforward process that can be achieved with the use of a metal file or grinder. By running the tool along the edges of the cut metal, you will be able to remove any protruding or jagged edges, creating a smooth and safe surface.Applying Rust ProtectionTo ensure the longevity of your cut metal fence posts, it is crucial to protect them from rust. Rust not only deteriorates the appearance of the posts but can also weaken their structural integrity over time. There are several rust protection options available, including primers, paints, and protective coatings. Before applying any rust protection, make sure to clean the surface of the metal thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris. Then, apply the chosen rust protection product in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This will create a barrier between the metal and the elements, preventing rust from forming and keeping your fence posts looking their best for years to come.

What is a Motor Grader Blade and Why is it Important to Keep it Sharp
If you're in the construction industry, then you know how important it is to have top-performing equipment. One such piece of machinery that plays a crucial role in any construction project is the motor grader blade. This component is responsible for leveling and smoothing soil surfaces, making it vital to keep it sharp and well-maintained at all times. In this blog post, we'll explore everything you need to know about motor grader blades, why they need to be sharp, tips on keeping them maintained, and step-by-step instructions on how to sharpen them effectively. So if you're looking for ways to improve your construction projects' efficiency and effectiveness, read on.
What is a Motor Grader Blade?
A motor grader blade is an essential component of heavy machinery used in construction projects. It's a large, flat metal plate that attaches to the bottom of the motor grader and serves the purpose of leveling and smoothing soil surfaces. The blade is adjustable, allowing it to move up or down as needed depending on the surface it's working with. This adjustability also allows it to cut into hard surfaces like rocks or remove soft material like sand efficiently. Motor grader blades come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific purposes such as cutting, mixing materials together, and spreading gravel evenly over a surface. Without these blades' use in construction projects, achieving smooth roads or level foundations would be impossible. Therefore, it's necessary to keep them sharp at all times so they can perform their duties effectively.
Reasons for Keeping the Motor Grader Blade Sharp
There are many reasons why keeping the motor grader blade sharp is crucial for maintaining a high level of performance. Firstly, it ensures that the machine can operate at peak efficiency and effectiveness. A dull or damaged blade can lead to uneven cutting and grading, which in turn slows down operations and increases fuel consumption. A well-maintained motor grader blade also facilitates precision work on the road surface, allowing for better control over the finished product. This translates into smoother surfaces that require less maintenance in the long run. Another reason for keeping your motor grader blade sharp is safety. A dull or damaged blade can cause accidents on job sites by throwing debris around or causing other machinery to malfunction due to improper grading. Regular sharpening of blades extends their lifespan, reducing wear and tear on other components of the machine such as hydraulic systems and engine parts. This ultimately saves money in costly repairs down the line while enhancing overall operational efficiency. Sharpening your motor grader blades regularly has numerous benefits including improved efficiency, greater safety measures on worksites as well as reduced wear-and-tear costs associated with prolonged use without maintenance upkeep.
Tips and Tricks for Keeping the Motor Grader Blade Sharp
Keeping a motor grader blade sharp is crucial for achieving an efficient and smooth road grading process. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you maintain your grader blade’s sharpness: Firstly, always ensure the blade is clean before attempting to sharpen it. Dirt or debris can cause uneven wear on the blade, which may lead to poor performance. Use a pressure washer or a wire brush to remove any dirt. Secondly, inspect the cutting edge of the blade regularly. If there are nicks or dents in the cutting edge, they must be smoothed out with a hand-held grinder. Thirdly, use lubrication when sharpening your motor grader blades. Lubricants such as oil prevent overheating of the metal during grinding and reduce friction between abrasive surfaces. Fourthly, make sure to maintain consistent angle and depth while sharpening your blades. A slight variation in either can hinder their efficiency significantly. Consider investing in high-quality replacement blades from reputable manufacturers like Bonai India: The Best Grader Blades Manufacturer In India. By following these simple tips and tricks regularly, maintaining sharp grader blades becomes easier than ever!

You will require a bench grinder or angle grinder with a grinding wheel suitable for steel blades, safety goggles, gloves, and ear protection. Next, secure the blade onto a workbench using clamps or vice grips. Make sure it's stable before proceeding further. Start by inspecting the edge of your blade to assess how much material needs removing during sharpening. Using your angle grinder or bench grinder start grinding away small amounts from each side of the edge until achieving desired sharpness. Remember always to keep moving back and forth across both sides of the blade while maintaining equal pressure on each pass so that you don't over-sharpen one side more than another. After you finish sharpening one end of the blade flip it over and repeat this process on the other ends making sure they are all equally sharp before reattaching them back onto their respective positions on the machine.

How Do I Pick The Best Company For Floor Sanding Services?
If you have hardwood flooring, it's important to keep it in good condition. This means that you need to regularly clean and refinish the floor. There are a lot of different companies out there that offer these services, so how do you know which one is right for your home?
Here are some things to consider when looking at Best Flooring in Adelaide companies in your area:
Do you want to sand or screen?
Sanding is done with a power sander or drum sander, which uses sandpaper and operates on the principle of abrasion. The sanding process removes the old finish from the floor to prepare it for staining.
Screening is done by hand using a screen, either before or after sanding. It is usually used in conjunction with other processes such as stripping or stripping and sanding.
Both methods can be used together if you wish to have a completely polished surface after you've finished working on your floors but it depends on what type of floor finish you want at the end and what kind of floors they are made from.
In most cases, however, people prefer either one method over another because there's no real benefit from doing both during each stage except that it may take longer than expected if there was much more work involved than anticipated.
What kind of stain do you want?
There are several different types of wood stains to choose from. Oil-based stains are the most popular, but they're also the most expensive and may require more maintenance over time.
Wax and lacquer finishes are less expensive, but they can be harder to apply evenly. Polyurethane finishes are a good middle ground between cost and ease of application; however, they take longer to dry than other types of stains.
Do you want to oil, wax, lacquer, or polyurethane the floor?
Oils, waxes, and lacquers are the most popular choices for floor finishes. The type you choose will depend on your lifestyle and the area of the country where you live.
Oil-based polyurethanes are harder to clean, require more maintenance, and take longer to dry than lacquer or wax. They also produce a thicker finish that can interfere with some types of floor coverings such as carpeting or rugs in high-traffic areas.
On the other hand, oil-based polyurethanes provide excellent durability because they contain highly saturated resins that resist wear and scuffing better than lacquers or waxes can do alone—making them ideal for floors exposed to heavy traffic such as kitchens or living rooms but not ideal if you want an easy-to-care-for finish like oiled wood floors which require little maintenance once they're installed properly!
What kind of equipment does the floor sanding company use?
There are a number of different types of equipment that floor sanding companies use, each with its own pros and cons. The type of equipment that you choose will depend on the surface you want to sand and how smooth it is.
For example, if your floor is made from hardwood or tile then belt sanders might be more appropriate because they can get into the grooves in these materials better than other kinds of machines. However, if your floor has a varnish coating or is made from the carpet then angle grinders might be best because they cut down on dust production.
There are many factors to consider when choosing which machine to rent from a floor sanding company.
Make sure you're clear about what kind of material you want to work on before making an order so that they send over the right tool(s) for your job!
We hope this article has given you a better idea of what to look for in a Floor Sanding in Adelaide company, and how they can help you with your floor.
