What can bush hammer tools do?

Create slip resistant textures on concrete and stone

Bush hammer tools can roughen the surface of stone and concrete, to create anti-slip finish on pool pavers, patio and other outdoor floors.

Concrete surface preparation

Bush hammer tools can pulverize the top layers of concrete, to expose the aggregate easily and fully, which increase the bonding efficiency for expoxy coatings and overlays.

Tough coating removing

Bush Hammer is applied for deep floor pulverization, especially when you expect to peel off the thick surfaces such as thick coatings, very elastic coverings, asphalt, ceramic thin-set, sanded grout, and so on

What roughness can be achieved by using bush hammer tools? ?

Different roller bush hammer tools can create different grade of roughness on concrete and stone floor. In other words, bush hammer tools can create CSP 1 to CSP 5 profile on concrete.

Sandblasting texture ( CSP 1)

This sandblasting finish is quite fine, maybe finer than CSP 1, can be done by knurling roller. If you’re looking for a slip resistant finish on stair or or other internal stone or concrete surfaces, this is the right one.

The knurling bush hammer can be used on concrete surface before the application of sealers and extra thin films.

The knurling roller is overall cut from tungsten or steel cylinder, there are 312 small teeth on each roller.

Medium bush hammered texture ( CSP 2-3)

This finish is done by star roller, the roughness similar to CSP2-3. If you’re looking for a more slip resistant finish than the sandblasting finish or want to remove not very deep coatings, the star roller bush hammer tool is the right one.

The star bush hammer can be used on concrete surface before the application of thin films (100-250 micron) and high build coating (250 micron-1mm).

The star roller is made of 2 pcs star blade, each blade has 10 teeth.

15*15cm granite texturing

Coarse bush hammered texture ( CSP 4-5)

This finish is done by lichi roller, the roughness similar to CSP 4-5, it is the most often seen anti-slip finish on outdoor stone and concrete floors. It is a great tool to remove heavy and tough coatings. Most customers choose lichi roller bush hammer for concrete surface preparation, to create CSP 4-5 for high build coating and overlays.

The lichi roller is a metal cylinder welded with some cone shape tungsten teeth, the 30 teeth roller are used for rotary hammer and angle grinder bush hammer tool, 45 teeth roller used for floor grinder and factory use machine.

Operation warnings

Please keep the operation tips in mind to make the best use of the bush hammer tools.

Working Speed under 1000 RPM. Not recommended for high rpm angle grinder, suggested to install bush hammer on speed adjustable angle grinder or polisher, such as makita9227CB/ 9237CB polisher, suggested speed less than1000 RPM. 30 tips bush hammer roller not suggested for three phase walkbehind grinder, too much pressure can break the bearings inside the roller. For three phase grinder, please use the 45 tips bush hammer roller with bigger bearings.
Do not apply too much pressure on bush hammer. This will prevent roller from stopping and thus decrease the life span of the tungsten steel.
After each use, please clean up rollers, dry and apply oil to the spindles. It will be ideal to submerge the rollers in oil to prevent spindle rust. Roller tips can be re-dressed with diamond blades when they become inefficient.
