You can also use a planetary head machine to get a flat floor. The larger diameter machine will give you a flat floor.  Just remember that no floor is truly flat.

We have used a straight edge and level but not sure it always helped.
If you have a really rigid setup you may be able to feel it.

Hi Stu

 

How do you check for flatness if the floor has been ground?

I think using a stiff/ridgid pad driver and no flex in the diamonds like mike said is the way to go.
I might add starting with 120 metals though 400 metals may help.
Check flatness after your first cut. After metals go to 220 resin and up.
Test an area.
Down play results and over perform.

That is the old school type grinder that uses a small grinding head with 3 Frankfurt stones.

Hi Mike

 

The floor is a new installation it has never had any restoration work done on it. I have another question to ask to all the partners. Can it be flatten to flat reflection with a 17" swing machine?

Looks like the floor has been flattened and is just super wavy. You'll need an Achilli to fix that.

Hi Partners

 

I have a job that is 36x36 Calcutta marble. The marble is badly warped (please see attached pictures).  Can 36" warped Calcutta marble floor be TRUELY Grinded, honed and polished to a FLAT reflection?  Also, Is there any down side to grinding Calcutta marble? How does 5x polish out on it?

 

Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated!!
