How to use an angle grinder to cut and smooth concrete

How I used an angle grinder to cut down and smooth the ridge (high point) in our concrete driveway. The catalytic converter under our 2019 Honda Odyssey minivan was hitting the ridge as we drove into our carport. The technique can also be used to level high spots in a concrete floor. The result is a professional quality leveling without waves in the concrete that doing it just by freehand can have.

I am truly in awe of the organization and clarity of your presentation. The explanatory notes and diagrams were extremely helpful. You can definitely know that you helped me understand how to use an angle grinder to cut and smooth concrete, so thank you very very much. I will never let flip-flops fool me again-- apparently you guys are geniuses!!😊

Best video I found to "shave" away concrete on a driveway. I have a sloping driveway down to my garage in a 120 year old house and it the driveway at the top. I have be grinding flat for days, but will now do you like you, get a diamond blade and cut lines into the concrete and chisel away with a hammer. I was thinking about renting a concrete grinder, but I just need to smoothen the top edge. Wish me luck! And thanks for your video!

I have never used an angle grinder. How necessary is the jig, or to have straight lines in this situation?
@usefulgizmos
@usefulgizmos 2 года назад
The jig allows a consistent clearance of 7/16 inch for the muffler (mistakenly called it the catalytic converter in the video). Without the jig the cuts in the concrete would have varied quite a bit resulting in a wavy cut and maybe not deep enough in some places. Please note that an angle grinder is probably the most dangerous power tool in a home owner's tool box.

No protection on feet when cutting was really disturbing - one slip or oops and ... you know what. This was a cheap fix and more work was required to fix the poor state of the concrete and strange levels but if you just wanted to fix the car clearance problem then you did well with the exception that after grinding you had a smooth surface that is slippery when wet so that needs work also.

Now I see why Honda always rates the ground clearance of the Odyssey at 4.5in. That is insanely low. Lower than most sports cars. Kinda dumb they couldnt figure out how to get 5-7in like most other minivans. At least its only the exhaust system and not the actual underside of the car.
