Thanks for taking the time to write the above Russell.
I have been restoring all types of floors for best part of 20 years.
In fact I have a Royal Appointment for it (I'm showing off I know
)
You can see some of our work here: -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-E_kkEblhsI understand fully what you are describing and may well give it a try.
Although first time out it will be on my own riven slate bathroom as it gets everything chucked at it.
Specifics when it comes to equipment and products is what I personally find most useful on forums as there is a plethora of choice and help to filter it down is a good thing.
With regard to the Tornado they have now been discontinued but are a beast of a machine.
As for the Klindex machines I am not sure what he finds confusing about the actual machine itself as its fairly straight forward system.
Perhaps its chosing the correct tooling for the task he finds more of a challenge. I havent owned one for a number of years as for a time most of our projects were large area commercial maintenance rather than restoration so we sold it on an installation company and decided to build some equipment in house specifically for large area stuff.
In recent years we have gained a reputation for high level domestic work so have managed to source a couple of Levighators from an old associate to help on these smaller areas as the large machines restrict the stuff one guy on his own can do.
Kevin - Thanks for the offer of the machine. We still have some coating remover from our last order although we will no doubt need more. Will know better after the sample area.
Apologies to all for hijacking this thread but I think there is some good information included.
Hopefully they will allow filming on site of the job and I can let everyone see how things progressed.
