Power Tools - Common Questions

+

What power tools do stone fabricators use most?

Most shops rely on a variable speed polisher for edges and surfaces, an angle grinder for shaping and cleanup, and a router for edge profiles. Dust control matters too, which is why a wet/dry dust extractor is part of this collection.

+

Why does variable speed matter on a stone polisher?

Different grits and materials polish best at different speeds. Variable speed lets you slow down for coarse grits and heat-sensitive material, then bring the speed up for final polishing steps. Check each tool's product page for its speed range.

+

Can I use the same polisher for wet and dry polishing?

It depends on the tool. Some polishers are built for wet use with water feed, and others are meant for dry work. Check the product page for how each tool is rated before you run water through it.

+

Which polishing pads work with these polishers?

Browse our wet polishing pads and dry polishing pads, and match the pad size and backer to the tool. Check each polisher's product page for its pad and spindle details.
