Check this one, its the same but with a Makita Grinder. Now I have never tried these machines but I have two grinders, one Makita and one Another, and the Makita is by far my favourite exactly because of the noise, the other one sounds like a bunch of strangled mice.

Ive been deaming of such a machine. A 15"+ large surface sand blaster with vacume pickup (clean and capture) need some one to engineer one. While we're talking tools. I do a lot of counter top work and have been using th ds301 planitary but its so obnoxiously loud Ive been stopped on two jobs recently, and it's cost me money but it does do a nice job. does anyone know of an alternative thats as productive?

I have a client who installed 20 000sqft of sand blasted granite in his lobby.

It has been sealed with a silicone impregnator.

It has held up beautifully for the last year

The cleaning company came in and started to clean it using a black pad to remove marks that were left behind from the winter carpets

What has happened is that the black pad as acted as an abrasive and sort of polished the fresh , bright sand blasted finish, leaving what looks like a darker spot

Personally I think that trying to keep it looking so light will be an impossible task unless I find a way to mimic the sand blasted technique indoors.

I will accept any advice, as I am going for tests in tomorrow

I have acids

Degreasers

White pads

Blue pads

One of those rotating washer blasters

What do you guys think?
