Crack chaser

[Joe-R]

I am planning to epoxy paint my floor. I did the moisture test with the taped down plastic bag, all is well. I have some cracks I would like to chase before filling. What do you all recommend for a crack chaser blade? I see prices between $22.95 and $100,000.00 (really?). And what sort of machine do you run the blade in?

Thanks!
Joe

I used to be a crack chaser but American wimmen just arent worth the effort anymore

Would a can opener work?

They are used on an angle grinder. This blade will cut out all the weakness on the flush edge. Make sure you fill with a gel crack filler or similar, no caulk.

I need to check, but I think I have a 4.5 " angle grinder. How does this blade look?

Could you please explain what you mean by flush edge?

Thanks,

Worked well, lots of dust.
