The stone workers need for quality tools has led to the evolution of the Hardin product line. The composition and characteristics of marble, granite, tile, and engineered stone differ dramatically from concrete. Achieve professional results when profiling and polishing stone counter tops and surfaces with the Hardin Variable Speed wet polisher. Ergonomically designed with a water delivery system that sits under the polisher. Simply hook the end of the 5 foot 1/4″ water line to a standard 5/8″ garden hose as a water source. Lightweight enough at about 6.5 pounds with enough power to get the job done. This unit is equipped with a 950 watt, 8.29 amp, variable speed motor. Adjustable via a variable speed wheel switch located at the back of the polisher. You can operate from 2,000-4,000 RPM. When polishing, you get optimum results around 2,500 RPM. This kit is ideal, at higher RPM, to shape the edge of a slab of granite, marble, tile, or masonry with the included vacuum brazed profile wheel. The profile wheel is simple to use. Works much like a router bit works. Has a flat surface that rides on top of the material being worked on. On the bottom of the vacuum brazed profile wheel, you have a guide bearing that rides up against the side of the material. Keeps the bit 100% true. Put the 1/2 round metal splash guard around the collar of the polisher. Then with nothing else on the arbor simply thread the vacuum brazed profile wheel onto the 5/8″X11 UNC thread arbor. Set polisher to the higher RPM setting, turn water on low, power up the grinder, apply some force parallel with the working surface, & you’re on your way to profiling your custom edge. This Hardin Variable Speed Polishing kit comes with a set of 8 premium diamond polishing pads. Start polishing with the 50 grit pad & continue polishing with each successive grit until you achieve that factory shine. The final pad in the kit is the 10,000 grit buff pad. This is the pad that will give you that mirror like finish.

I USED THE ITEM ONCE ON SOME GRANITE.AND THE TRIGGER BUTTON DOES NOT FUNTION WELL HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH IT TO KEEP IT RUNNING .HAD TO PUSH REAL HARD IN THE ON POSITION AND KEEP THUMB PRESSED HARD IN ON POSITION TILL I GOT THROUGH ALL THE PADS .MY ARM WAS VERY TIRED AND IM IN GREAT SHAPE FOOD FOR THOUGHT .
I was originally going to by the Secco kit because it had reviews and there were none for the Hardin. But when I realized there would be a 2-4 week wait for the Secco to ship, I canceled my order for the Secco and ordered the Hardin. I placed the order March 2 and it arrive March 8 with standard shipping. It arrived without the 10,000 grit buffing pad or radius wheel. A call to the company and it was on its way, so no problem. I bought the kit to shape and polish the edges of 12x12x1/4 granite tiles. Worked like a charm, starting with 50 grit pad to get basic shape and working up to 10,000 buffing pad. I had previously had to pay $12 per linear foot to have this work done, so needing 30 feet of tile edge polished made this a great deal. The grinder feels solid and runs well. It comes with both the handle pictured as well as a side handle, which I prefer. It also comes with a ground fault circuit interrupter (plugs on both ends so you can use it with other tools). I like that the water valve is on the underside rather than on top. That location makes it very convenient to operate the water valve with the index finger and the power switch with your thumb. I built a simple fixture from plywood to clamp the tiles at a 30 degree angle and worked on 10 tiles at a time, switching tiles rather than polishing pads. That seems to work best, and makes the location of the water valve and power switch important. Looks like I will get a lot of use out of the polishing pads before they wear out. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase.
