The Edco 58900 Magna-Trap Turbo-Lite (TL-9) packs aggressive concrete grinding into a compact, single-operator machine. With a 9-inch working width and a 1.5 HP motor that runs on standard 115V power, it lets concrete and flooring contractors prep surfaces, knock down high spots, and strip coatings without hauling in a heavy three-phase planetary grinder.
It is built for surface-prep pros: concrete contractors, floor-coating installers, and restoration crews who need a portable grinder that gets into tighter spaces and edges while still removing material fast.
What it is built to do
- Surface preparation and profiling before epoxy, urethane, or polished-concrete coatings.
- Removing thin-set, mastic, paint, and old coatings from concrete.
- Leveling high spots and smoothing rough or uneven slabs.
- Edge and detail grinding where a large planetary grinder will not fit.
Why the Turbo-Lite works for crews
At about 94 pounds with a folding handle and built-in handgrip, the TL-9 is light enough to load, carry up stairs, and move between job sites, yet it still drives Magna-Trap diamond tooling hard. The Magna-Trap disc system snaps diamonds on and off in seconds so you can change grit for the substrate, and the 2-inch vacuum port keeps silica dust under control when paired with a compatible extractor.
