It is a portland based terrazzo.  We ran into the hone mark problem with a project a little while ago. It was a marble floor that abbutted a polished marble wall. We used cerafil or some other form of wax with a dremel to work the edges.  That seemed to work pretty well.  I'm not sure that will work here.

Is it a resin based terrazzo or a portland based? If it's portland you'll have nasty hone marks along the edges to get rid of so just be careful because they'll really come through when you polish and a 200 grit wont come close to getting them out.

Hi.  We are looking at a terrazzo floor and, because the floor was never finished (honed and polished), we will need to hone and polish the edges.  We don't run into this much with marble because the edges are typically already polished.  Was wondering what people's experience is with production rate for hand honing and polishing.  We would go 200-400-800 and polish for the main floor, but perhaps that is not necessary for 1-2 inches of edge. Also, is it best to hone and polish the edges first or last?
Thanks,
B
