OPERATING MANUAL
DECEMBER 2008
The rotating heads consist of the tooling holder, flexible coupling and the patent
pending vacuum shroud which, along with other components, provide the POD
(or Point Of Development) dust extraction functionality. An easily replaceable
wear ring acts as a barrier to protect the air plenum from abrasive wear caused
by dust generated by the process.
The tooling plates rotate at approximately 400 revolutions per minute. They are
designed to hold tungsten carbide cutters, as well as specially designed POD
diamond plugs. The tungsten carbide cutters are used to slice coatings and
adhesives apart and the diamond plugs can be used to clean off any remaining
material, to remove hard, brittle coatings and paints, or to prepare concrete
surfaces for coating.
Due to the POD functionality, the BMGP-600 does not require a water source
for cooling the tooling or reducing dust while grinding. The revolutionary POD
technology cools the diamond segments on the tooling as it captures the dust
and eliminates dust immediately after the particles are released from the
surface of the floor. This minimizes cleanup, allows the user to maintain better
visibility of their work surface and greatly reduces airborne dust.
This machine is designed to be used with a Model BDC-1324 or BDC317P dust
collection system and appropriate respiratory protection.
