I have about 200 Sq feet of brick tile that have uneven spots on them I would like to grind down more evenly, would this work?

It will certainly be able to grind down the material. The metal disk is especially aggressive and can quickly eat through concrete. The polishing pads aren't nearly as aggressive, there's quite a performance gap in-between the metal grinding cup and the coarsest pad (though that's not a problem for regular use, I'm just saying your options might be limited for what you're doing). As another person said however, this is a messy process. Even when you make good use of the leather velcro strap and a wet/dry vacuum to help contain the water, it gets everywhere.

It may but it would be a heck of a lot of work. I did a 3x10 concrete countertop and it took me around 10 hours. Working on the ground would be much worse.

It would but it would take an extremely long time. I would look into a bigger piece of equipment.

I used this tool for concrete counter top, the counter top was already flat because it was cast in a melamine form, and these disk will polish that surface perfectly. These disks are only 5 inch diameter so they wont grind down uneven spots in 200 sf of brick tile. A 7 inch concrete wheel may do this but I doubt it would help with unevenness. Probably a commercial style floor grinder is what would be needed.

The short answer is yes it will. Obviously the depth of material that needs to be removed will dictate how much labor will be required. Even if you were only polishing 200 sq.ft that would prove to be moderately labor intensive. Also know that this polisher is designed to have a water source and a wet/dry vacuum connected to it. It is a very messy process. You will need to do some research to determine what grits are suggested for your application.

Yep, this grinder will give you a smooth finish. Great power, does not bog down.

It will work for smooth surfaces. You may want to use some expandable foam too for cracks and corners.

yes. the one they sell on line only works on smooth tile. You can make one with a 1 x 6" - 18" long board. Pick the size cutter you want to use, make a hole that size in the board first with a hole saw. Tile on flat surface, hole in the board on the tile, standing on board with both feet, then using water and a slow speed on your drill, apply water every 30 seconds. It will give you a very clean cut.

It won't really stand on uneven surface but if you prop it with knees or pillow then you should be able to work around that

It all depends on the amount of imperfection. It did not fully level out my floor. I should have leveled the floor first.

I don't think it would be a problem. I used it to grind concrete which it did with ease. Suggest that you keep the surface that you are grinding wet to help control the dust.

I bought this grinder to use with concrete grinding attachment. It Has plenty of power to grind and should be strong enough to cut porcelian tile.

The short answer is, yes. However I think you will run through a number of wheels before you get the job done. Are you cutting the brick or the laminate? If laminate, no problem. Just make sure you have the room to maneuver. If brick, an angle grinder might be a better alternative fitted with a compound blade.

Try dampening the tile just a little. This might not work. Tile is very porous.

I have not tried it, but I would think the way it is built that you should be able to accomplish that. This grinder has several grind settings and does a great job. I am very pleased with it since I purchased it.

If you mean masonry or fired tile, it will be fine. Still, though, try a tiny spot first in case the tile pigment begins to come up.

I don't think it would work well over tile as I don't see how you could get it smooth. It worked great over a regular formica counter, but you do have to sand it quite a bit.

With the pads that are used on the unit I don't think that it will clean uneven grout lines well.

I think it would be difficult to blend the spot into the rest of the tile. It is quite durable after it cures, but it seems to me the spot would still show up. It would probably look better than the chip, though.

No, this is for resistant , brittle material , Tile , thinset, but will gouge the concrete. The equipment you need are specialty grinders, the adhesive has gotten into the pores of concrete, to be done properly a thin layer of surface must be removed.

Yes. I have travertine flooring and porcelain flooring that is uneven and it gets into the crevices ok for me.

Yes you can. You may need to try different plates in the front until you get the right consistency you want. I can tell you that it won't slow you down as it will grind about anything. Very powerful.
