Hi everyone,After reading lots of reviews I am very happy to say I picked a great grinding wheel to knock down the raised up concrete in my backyard. The concrete slab was raised up in places from a quarter inch to about half an inch.I want to say that after watching many videos on you tube, I felt confident that I too could be a weekend warrior.I did about 10 feet long of raised up concrete. It took about 35 minutes. I had to stop half way through the project to sweep up a bit and to let the grinder cool down.Wearing protective gear was important. A face mask and glasses is necessary. It got vey dusty.The grinding wheel showed very little wear.It is ready for the future grinding project.Good luck to all of you.My advice is to buy this and work in small sections at a time. Also sitting on you butt makes it better on your back.
