For surface preparation contractors, a versatile concrete grinder is a must-have. The right machine should support a wide range of construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects, and the Helix concrete grinder delivers exactly that. Compact, lightweight, and easy to transport, the Helix is well-suited for daily prep work, repair tasks, and ongoing maintenance across both residential and commercial sites.
Built for Modern Surface Preparation
The Helix is designed to make tough surface prep jobs more manageable. Its 16-inch grinding deck features three tooling satellites, allowing contractors to prep and polish concrete floors with confidence. With its lighter weight and lower RPM, the Helix can take a floor to roughly a 400-grit polish. This level of polish is durable, easy to maintain, and ideal for a wide range of facilities.
The Helix handles coating removal just as effectively. Pair it with carbide chips or PCD tooling to remove epoxy, mastic, paint, or thin-set quickly and cleanly. Once the old coating is removed, switch to metal-bond diamonds to prepare the slab for a new system, whether that’s an overlay, resin floor, or further polishing.
Tooling changes are fast and simple: metal-bond diamonds snap directly onto the satellites, making the Helix a user-friendly addition to any fleet.
Designed for Practical Site Work
One standout feature is the ability to grind right up to the wall. Flip up the edge plate on the dust skirt, and the Helix will cut cleanly along perimeter edges, reducing the amount of hand grinding required.
For more aggressive removal work, the tooling satellites can be swapped out for tungsten carbide scarifier teeth, giving you additional flexibility when dealing with stubborn materials.
Running on 110V, the Helix is fully compatible with UK jobsite power and offers both high and low speed settings — allowing contractors to fine-tune performance based on the tooling, concrete hardness, and desired finish.
A Compact Grinder That Does More
A versatile concrete grinder like the Helix is invaluable to UK and European surface prep contractors. It can prepare, repair, and maintain concrete surfaces efficiently, all while remaining easy to transport and operate. Whether you’re working on small commercial units, residential refurbishments, or routine maintenance, the Helix offers the power and flexibility needed to get the job done right.
