On that floor I would definitely us metal bond diamonds. 70 first then 100. Or just 100 metal bond. The a thorough extraction removing all the slurry out of the pits. Dry with leaf blowers blasting all the water out.
Then Epoxy hole fill with travertine filler.
Use laqcuer thinner & paper towels to remove the sticky residue. Then cut again with 100 grit metal bond, lightly until shaved flush. I then go straight to 220 resin bond.
We do it like that all the time. It works great! It's one of my case study's on my web site.
If your going to remove saw marks on travertine you got to figure in refilling all the epoxy too because it all comes out

What is the most aggressive sanding disc that you guys have used on travertine floors. We have some upside down travertine that has deep saw marks. We have used 600 grit 400 Grit and 200 grit and diamond pads. Our technician was able to
get most marks out in one tile using 100 grit, but it started causing waviness and pitting in the tile. See attached pictures. ALSO any recommendations on a larger machine that might be better at removing saw marks would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, we appreciate your business!
