Fact #1. When looking to create a beautiful finish on granite, marble, concrete, porcelain, and other hard surfaces, you have two choices: wet polishing and dry polishing. Wet polishing uses water as a lubricant to cut down on friction and prevent the diamond abrasive pads from overheating.
Fact #2. A major benefit to wet polishing is that it significantly reduces the possibility of breathing in harmful airborne contaminants created from polishing. The water wets the dust and other particles released during polishing. This essentially traps them before they can become airborne.
Fact #3. One of the biggest drawbacks to wet polishing is the amount of slurry it creates. Slurry is a mud-like mixture of water and stone or concrete particles that requires extensive clean up. When operating a wet polisher, you'll also need to wear a full-length rubber apron to prevent the slurry from soaking your clothes.
Fact #4. Wet polishing pads are usually made from a combination of diamond particles and resin. Wet diamond pads are safe to use on almost any type of stone or concrete surface. The pads themselves are usually less expensive than the type of pads dry polishers require. The polishing machinery itself is often more expensive, as it has more working components.
Fact #5. Make sure to always turn the water on before you start grinding. These machines are not meant to be used dry, nor are the pads. Using one without water can cause damage to both the machine and the pads. To start, turn the water feed on a set your grinder to maximum water flow. Hold the polisher above the surface you're going to be working on, and turn it on. Slowly lower it onto the surface. You don't need to put much pressure on the machine. Let the weight of the tool do the work for you.
