Thanks Jason.  I tend to thing in terms of square footage, but because I am dealing with lineal feet, how many lineal feet would you say you can hone or polish in a minute?  It seems to me  that I can work about 1.5 lineal feet at a time without moving. It seems as though the moving up and down the wall is the thing that slows things down.  Steps are easier because I don&#39;t have to keep moving.   I&#39;ve tried knee rollers but have found that on a hard floor the grinder moves me all over the place.<div>

Also, is it best to hone and polish the edges first or last?<div>
