We had the same problem with our metal diamonds sticking on a limestone floor, Someone here suggested adding neutral cleaner to the water and it worked well using our Klindex with a planetary headwe had to go very slowly with a lot of water. Phil

It can be done but you will need some really heavy duty machines..I would look at a propabe planatary head machine...but your looking at about 20 k for one.

Don,
sounds like a job I would get stuck with. I have learned however sometimes the best solution is walking away- no running away! Will they pay is the biggest issue!
Send in some more info like what type of machine are you using, what grit diamonds and the size of the floor.  A picture would be good too.
Consider how the edges will get done and how much time will be needed.
You may want to try some low grit turbo cat diamonds possibly 06 to 30g.
A grinding plate may be the way to go.
Also maybe its possible you could get it flat enough to use a self leveling concrete.
Someone may have an answer for you once you post more info.
Keep your running shoes close by.

Hi I hope someone can help me on this. I have a house that has un-gauged Lime stone on the floors, It looks like that the stone was quarried then split to make tile and never honed. The surface looks like the texture of slate, very un even with very high ares and very low areas and the lady now hates her floor. I tried metal bond diamonds and the seem almost to stick to the floor. I tried a floor edger with 36 gritt paper trying to Knock down some sharp edges and that hardly touched the stone. My question is has any one tried to flatten a floor like this and what did you use?
