Here at Craftsman Hardwood Flooring, we're always on the lookout for innovative tools that help us work smarter, not harder. The Arbortech Mini Grinder has fit right into our approach, especially when it comes to sanding in those tight, hard-to-reach spots.

Perfect for Precision Work

This tool has been a real asset for sanding around balusters and stair treads, and even fitting under toe kicks. Its extended narrow arm allows us to get into spaces where a regular sander just can’t go, making the job quicker and more precise. Plus, the dust collection is a standout feature— crucial for keeping clients' homes clean during wood floor sanding.

Surprising Versatility

One surprising advantage has been its versatility. Not many tools can handle as many different tasks as this one. Whether it's sanding timber, cutting tile, or even getting into those tight areas around door jambs, the Arbortech Mini Grinder handles it all with ease.

Solving Tile Cutting Challenges 

We’ve also been searching for a tool to cut tile back for our wood floor transitions, especially in tight areas like behind door-stop trim. The 54-mm diamond discs on this grinder are perfect for that. They give us the precision we need without kicking up a lot of dust, which has been a game-changer for maintaining a clean workspace.

Minor Drawbacks

It does take a bit to get used to the design, but the ergonomics and balance is great. It’s become an essential part of our toolkit, especially for those detailed areas where dust control is key.

Overall, the Arbortech Mini Grinder Trade is a solid addition for anyone in the flooring business looking to innovate and work more efficiently. It’s not a replacement for our main sander, but it’s definitely made our work easier and cleaner.
