After trimming, the step edge is rough at first – and it is the edge everyone looks at. DOMINATOR saws cut dry, also close to the wall; the Polifox KP and Genius KP edge polishers then guide the tool square on steps up to 50 mm thick; thicker steps and profiles are handled by the Contour Cat.

Running freehand along the nosing with an angle grinder: the angle tilts, the edge becomes wavy and the corner gets rounded off unintentionally. On a step people look straight at while walking, every irregularity shows.
In existing buildings there is usually a wall or stringer in the way, and water for wet cutting is often not available. A cutter without an extraction hood then leaves a cloud of dust throughout the stairwell.
If the tread is polished, the new edge should reach the same gloss. With pads in graded grits on the edge polisher, you go up to the polish – or stop at a fine honed finish where the edge is meant to stay matt.
The Dominator 180 cuts dry up to 60 mm deep, the Dominator 250 up to 75 mm, both also close to the wall and with a vacuum connection. For straight cuts on steps up to 40 mm thick, the Smart Cutter 1700 Plus with removable guide plate runs along the rail.
The edge polisher rests on the tread with its aluminium base plate, the motor sits in the 90° holder – the machine stays at right angles to the edge. KP80 for steps up to 30 mm, KP100 up to 50 mm. The Polifox KP works wet, the Genius KP dry.
Note: Use the felt pad on polished treads and the velcro plastic plate on rough ones.
Grit by grit up to the gloss of the existing surface: wet with GADIA Resin Premium on the Polifox KP, dry with GADIA Easy Dry on the Genius KP – each in Ø 80 or 100 mm to match the aluminium plate.
For chamfers, roundings and steps over 50 mm, the Contour Cat guides the tool over its base plate: grinding height up to 60 mm, height adjustment up to 25 mm, profile cutters up to Ø 118 mm. With GADIA Cyli and the GADIA Oscillator you polish the edge streak-free.
Edge polishers for straight 90° edges on steps up to 50 mm, Contour Cat for thicker steps and profiles.
