To all
My first question is where are the pictures? Are you sure you’re
dealing with a limestone materials?
The next step is if you have tried several diamonds and are not
yet achieving the finish, do you really want the job, a job you could spend a
lot of time on with very little return, if not priced right?
If you can send pictures it will help everyone give you a better
solution.
As Stuart stated sometimes it’s better to walk away from job.if
you don’t have the knowledge and equipment to do them.

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?
