Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a polishing device that can be used on contoured and flat surfaces. The device includes a motorized sander and a polishing block with an abrasive surface. The polishing block is made of a rubber or wood material, and the abrasive surface is made of hard material like synthetic diamonds. The polishing block can be shaped to fit different edge or surface profiles. The device is portable and can be used on various surfaces like granite. The device has a water outlet to provide water to the abrasive surface during operation. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a versatile and efficient tool for polishing and sanding different surfaces.

Problems solved by technology

Although these devices have proven useful for polishing or abrading relatively flat surfaces, they are not effective and are difficult to use on contoured surfaces.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a portable polishing device for stone or other hard materials. The polishing device includes a motorized sander and a polishing block attached to the sander. The polishing block comprises an abrasive surface which is shaped to fit the profile of an edge or surface to be polished or sanded.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Technical Field [0002] This invention relates to power driven tools, and more particularly, to a device for polishing or abrading a stone surface. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Power driven tools are used to perform many different functions, including sanding, polishing and stripping. One of the most popular types of these tools is the power driven sander or polisher. These sander / polisher devices are typically powered by pressurized air and comprise a suitable working surface for abrading or polishing a material. The tools typically include a motor and drive assembly that rotate or oscillate upon the working surface at a high velocity. Although these devices have proven useful for polishing or abrading relatively flat surfaces, they are not effective and are difficult to use on contoured surfaces. Accordingly, a need exists for a power driven polishing / sanding device that is lightweight, easy to use and effective in polishing or s...
