Best advice I have listened too, including the safety aspects of wearing respiratory protection.

I didn't wear a mask a couple of times for 20 mins each. When will the stuff I inhaled start causing cancer or something? 😢

Thanks for this. I've done hundreds of square feet with a hammer drill and a flat chisel blade. I knew there had to be a better way.

Great and very timely info for removing thin set. I’m currently removing Travertine tile from my kitchen concrete slab floor. I’m using a 20 pound Makita demo hammer and scraper and then physically removing the tile shards for haul away to the dump is very labor intensive. I keep looking at that thin set left behind after removing the tile and not looking forward to having to deal with the thin set next. So I’ll be taking your advice from the positive experience you had with the concrete grinder. Though renting it is a bit pricey saving my back from aching and bending over that demo hammer for hours is worth the cost. Thanks for taking the time to make this excellent video especially for us weekend warriors.

Thanks for the video bro. I have a DIY project coming up and I have a good amount t of tile I need to pull up. Definitely going to rent that concrete grinder to get the thin set up and the floors smooth.

I’m about to strip the wood out of my home and I’ve stripped glue from concrete the hard way before! Thanks for this video, will be heading to the Depot soon!

I agree 100% - thank you for validating what I also think would be better. That chipping hammer and the caddy machine are hell on your body.

Glad I found your video. I do have to use my hammer drill with the Bosch Bulldog scraper. Unfortunately, I cannot lift or manage the grinder machine you are using. But, for me, it is much faster than manually scraping. I will eventually post pictures. Thanks

Glad I helped. Just make sure you connect a vacume to it. Because it will make lots and lots lot of dust.. and you don't want to breathe that stuff.
@trodstoolbox31342 жыл бұрын
Also get some hepa filters for tour vacume and a pack of vacume bags, it will clog cup the filter pretty quick so be prepared to clean out the filter a few times durring the job.

I did customers entry way with a 2” wide bit on jack hammer, made a few holes in the concrete with it because it was to narrow. Filled in with concrete patch. Than used a hand held grinder which removed the mortar easily but took 2 hours of grinding to finish a 6’ by 6’ area. I still need to do customers kitchen. I plan on using my jackhammer to break up tile, than rent out the large grinder.

Have you ever soaked the thinset with water, prior to using the grinder? If so, does it reduce the dust?
@davidryan79812 жыл бұрын
It has an attachment for a wet/dry vac to suck up the dust

Thank you so much for your advice. The one thing I'm wondering is if you remove tile in a house that still has the base moulding and door trim installed, does it get ruined by all the chipping? I assume it would get damaged. Especially if it's MDF. Do you have experience with that? I'm just trying to figure out what I'll be up against if I take on a project like this. Thanks!

If you're removing and replacing tile, you're best off popping the floor moulding and replacing it as well.
