sounds like your truvox is a trophy compact 300 or an orbis compact so not suitable really.

We use a trophy compact for staircases.

Can you ring me tomorrow?  I need to talk to you ref a few things your secretary spoke to me about last week. I did ask her to get you to ring me last Friday.

Kev

[Jamie Pearson]

Not in office tomorrow and probably out of service as I am on site tomorrow and they have signal blockers so your phone doesn't work installed!

[Jamie Pearson]

In office on Thirsday will call then.

[Kev Martin]

OK

 I use a Numatic Nuspeed NR1500S Standard Speed Floor Machine

40 kg takes an extra 10kg weight seems ok for most general duty's never used diamonds with it.

How would a Rocky or Wirbel improve on the Numatic?

Everyone has to choose what they are comfortable with and I will repeat again none are really suitable for grinding and honing effectively and that includes the Rocky.  Other than that:

The Numatic you mention

1.  It costs £965 plus the cost of the additional weight.

2.  The handles are very small making it uncomfortable if you need to use it for long periods.
3.   The tank is smaller than the Rocky (More Pit Stops)
4.   It doesn't have a metal gearbox so the build quality isn't the same and is therefore unlikely to last at least 5 Years

So for the same money I would choose the Klindex Rocky every time especially given the offer for CIU Members at the moment!

However, most will say I am biased because I sell them and use them!  I agree I am biased!!  However I did think very carefully before I sold all my Wirbels and changed them for the Klindex Rockys

Agree although very compact, uncomfortable for longer periods, only paid £200 inclusive for a recon unit two years back. Look forward to it giving up the ghost then I can justify a Rocky.

Come on Mark dig deep  and treat yourself to a Rocky

[mark shannon]

  We all cant be super rich marble grinders like yourself. How you getting

Not super rich yet keep spending it on new toys like Antony said just ordered the ufo.. The levighator is on a different planet for grinding and polishing marble and limestone best thing ive bought and the back up from Kev and Antony is first class.
Also been using the Rocky now for over a year gone through a few brushes with the honing powder but now the new brush system is available its not too bad on the pockets, would I put weights on it or any other rotary to grind a floor NO!! But for stripping floors or honing and polishing with powders its a great machine with a massive tank which is a godsend on some big jobs.
So the Klindex machines get a massive thumbs up from me.
