Grinding concrete is different from sanding plaster. Concrete is much harder.
For example, when you level the floor with a concrete grinder, there is a lot of dust development.
Our walls are already very even. So I can start right away with the grinding or polishing discs.
The material removal is very low but a very fine grinding dust is produced. With a good extraction system (fine filter...) it is not a problem. The extraction does not work so well on edges. But overall no drama. I get the dirtiest when cleaning and putting away the tools.
Wearing a mask is still advisable.
I use a system from Hilti (DGH 130). With the grinding/polishing discs the removal is quite low.
As with every rotary machine, you have to run smoothly parallel to the wall. With tilting, there are (slight) marks.
But it’s not like with plaster where you immediately get an edge with 1 cm depth.
The goal is for the walls to be smooth. They do not have to be 100% even.
