3m aqua pad is also good to rub out frames after 220.
Sent from my iPhoneI agree with John-we only run our planetario on flat floors or if we are grinding them flat.We run all our diamonds(we use rosex or triple thicks) (beveled and thin) on either foam risers and or hogs hair(good quality) pads with velcro patches. This lets us ride over the lippage provided it is reasonable lippage. We pretty much start all our floors with 220 g resin diamonds then run a abrasive fiber pad or 280 grit honing powder to settle the frames. Then we go back to diamonds and polishing compounds to finish.On Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 9:43 AM, John Freitag <jfreitag@thestoneandtileschool.com> wrote:
Stuart,
It depends on how you attach your diamond to your machine. If you attach the diamond directly to your drive plate you could have a problem. I would recommend you take a hog hair pad and some male Velcro and glue the Velcro onto the hair pad using super glue. Stone Care Central sell male Velcro in 3 foot long stripe. You only need to attach a 4 inch by 4 inch piece of Velcro onto the hair pad . I prefer to allow the glue to cure overnight if possible. If not you can use it the same day as you make it.
Attach the diamond onto the hair pad then place the hair pad under your drive plate and start honing. Caution do niot use a weighted drive plate, the less weight the better , you diamond will do the cutting. This help eliminate the diamond usage and help eliminate some if not all the picture framing.
If you have picture framing the go over the floor with a 400 grit honing powder and a hair pad or a white pad this will remove the picture framing and allow you to polish the floor .

Depends how bad lippage is

My orientation has been to flatten a floor 1st with the metals and then start my way up through the resins. If I began grinding with a 220 grit diamond, without 1st flattening the floor with the metals,would I not end up sacrificing those diamonds due to lippage?

First I would not use honing powders . you will get much better results
using diamonds. If you started with 180 grit powder and all the damage is
out of the stone I would recommend starting with a 220 grit diamond 400 then
800 diamond and polish the floor you should get great results. Keep in mind
you need to .spend the proper time on each diamond grit in order to remove
the pervious grit scratches. If you do not spend the time on each grit you
will not remove the pervious grit scratches and the floor will never have
that great shine you are looking for.

Subject: [sccpartners] Polishing marble
Good morning. We are working on a marble floor in a bathroom that had some
fairly deep scratches in it. We concentrated on the deeper scratches with
an angle grinder and were able to get them out. On the rest of the floor we
used 180 honing powders up through 3000 diamond Norton pads and we polished
with MB16 in some areas and 5x in other areas (to see if there was any
difference in the polish - there wasn't much difference).
We will probably need to grind the whole floor down and go deeper, but even
when we have done this on other floors in the past, we are not able to get a
really nice polish on it - certainly not like the factory finish. Are we
overlooking something? What might we try to get a better polish? Does it
matter what sort of marble we are dealing with? A picture of the floor we
are currently working on is attached.
