I have owned the DS 500 and its a great machines but its really not necessary for what you are doing. I bit over kill. They are great for granite countertops.

Hi, We are starting a job grinding, honing and polishing some old marble tables (large areas), and was curious if anyone has much experience or comment about going with one of those flex or intertool planetary head honing/polishing machines.  I typically just use makitas with appropriate heads and also have one of those aluminum three socket heads that goes onto a makita.  Am thinking it is just as easy to go with 7" electroplated discs. These are old marble tables that were used to make candy, and they will continue to make candy with them, so they don't have to look like church alters, just ding free with a satin or semi-gloss finish.
Thanks.
Baird
