Caution, if you want the base removed I would recommend you have the home owner have them removed. If you damage them you own them and you or your insurance company will be replacing them. If you remove them when you put them back up are you filling the nail holes, re-caulking them and repainting them? Do you want that responsibility?

Quick answers to your questions:
Start your cutting here, so I would buy some 50 and 125 metals. then proceed to your 50 resins.
I would remove the toilet.
We sometimes have to grind up to the edge, if possible remove base boards if possible, take your time on the edges other wise you will need to work the edges with your hand tool. If you can have baseboards removed then Make sure baseboards aren't that compressed paper stuff that will be no good if it gets wet.mastercraft is fine, you can add some weight for the grind if you can. The charge would range $750.00 to 1,200.00 depending on if they want a matt finish,satin, or high gloss. Good luck

Hello Partners,
Took a look at restoring nearly 300 sq ft of a white marble with gray veining installed in a foyer and bathroom. Customers installed the floors themselves many years ago, and it has lots of lippage. It's not that bad, just plentiful, and they inquired about flattening the floor. Since I've not flattened a floor before, I'm seeking your expert advice on what it takes to do so. Some questions that come to my mind are: Do I need anything other than my current inventory of 50 grit to 1800 grit resin diamonds for grinding? Will my Mastercraft Quarry Master floor machine suffice? Is additional machine weight necessary when flattening? Would it be beneficial to have them remove the toilet & basin in the bathroom? When flattening, do I have to grind the entire floor? I'm sure I may have missed some other things, so any and all advice would be appreciated. Finally, how to charge for such and any recipe for times needed when grinding would also be needed so that I could provide them with a cost estimate. I've attached photos, and as always, thanks all of you for your valuable advice.
