The diamond are made to cut the pressure applied to the machine only places a strain on the machine thus heating it up or in some cases the technician hold his hand over the air vents and restricts the air flow and causes the heat up. Don't take this wrong the machine will get warm but, I have seen these machines get so hot you cannot hold them. Let the diamond do the work, you will find the equipment and you technician will last much longer. John E.

The Milwalkee does not have the speed control (it will slow down under pressure) like the Makita, especially at low speeds, but it will not heat up. Much better for polishing wet to dry or using 7" tools. The Makita is better for diamond sanding with 5" pads. -----Original Message----- From: Baird Standish [mailto:bairdstandish@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 8:38 AM To: Restoration and Maintenance Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Planetary Tool for counter tops? Just got the Milwaukee 2.5 horsepower grinder. It is a lot heavier than the makita and it might get tiring to use all day, but it just kicks for heavy duty grinding. We have a project with old sandstone floors that need 80 years of gook removed. I set up the Milwaukee with a 7" 50 grit electroplate disc and it just goes through it like butter. The Makita takes a lot more work. Not a Makita replacement, but a nice thing to have for extra oomph.

I just did a similar marble candy tops and was able to blow right through them. The Milwaukee was the key.

I typically just use makitas with appropriate heads and also have one of those aluminum three socket heads that goes onto a makita. Am thinking it is just as easy to go with 7" electroplated discs. These are old marble tables that were used to make candy, and they will continue to make candy with them, so they don't have to look like church alters, just ding free with a satin or semi-gloss finish. > Thanks.Baird > > -- > ________________________________________ > From the desk of > Baird Standish > Managing Partner > Facility Specialists, LLC > 1616 Walnut St. > Philadelphia, PA 19103 > Phone: 215-732-7505 > Fax: 215-546-9160 > > > Powered by http://DiscussThis.com <http://www.discussthis.com> > > > Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences > <http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com& gt; > > Start a new conversation (thread) <sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com> > > > > Powered by http://DiscussThis.com <http://www.discussthis.com> > > > Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences > <http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com& gt; > > Start a new conversation (thread) <sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com> > > -- ________________________________________ >From the desk of Baird Standish Managing Partner Facility Specialists, LLC 1616 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19103 Phone: 215-732-7505 Fax: 215-546-9160 -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com -- ________________________________________ >From the desk of Baird Standish Managing Partner Facility Specialists, LLC 1616 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19103 Phone: 215-732-7505 Fax: 215-546-9160 Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences Start a new conversation (thread)
