Grinder Equipment Overview
Grinder equipment includes grinders and accessories used with angle grinders to support cutting, grinding, shaping, and surface preparation during tile installation and fabrication. These products allow installers to modify tile and stone materials for proper fit, edge finishing, and surface conditioning. Grinder equipment plays a key role in achieving accurate cuts, clean edges, and smooth surfaces across a wide range of tile applications.
This collection includes angle grinders, grinder discs and wheels, dust collection covers, profilers, miter jolly attachments, cutting guides, and related accessories used on ceramic, porcelain, stone, and other hard materials. When paired with the correct grinder accessories, installers can perform detailed shaping, beveling, and surface preparation tasks that are difficult to accomplish with standard cutting tools alone.

Grinder equipment is used for edge shaping, beveling, surface leveling, and material removal on tile and stone. These tools support floor and wall tile installations, countertops, backsplashes, showers, and large-format tile projects in both residential and commercial environments.
Grinding & Surface Preparation Considerations
Using the correct grinder equipment helps achieve cleaner edges, more consistent surface preparation, and improved installation efficiency. Proper accessory selection and safe operation practices help reduce chipping, uneven edges, and rework during tile installation.
