Has anyone used one of their machines? I am looking to buy a package to do a job.
A 19" Cimex is around the same price and can be modified slightly to do a really good job. I run it on 220 with 3 weights. Plows through concrete. I also have an Achilli single head grinder, again around the same price. A little bit more cumbersome for tight areas, but very productive. I just finished up a 1300 foot house today. I did the initial grind with the Achilli to get all the glue, thinset and paint off, then the Cimex to blast through the rest.
it's the CR48DF or whatever, for stone. 880 rpm. I re-wired the motor for 220 and I use a voltage converter to get 220 in the houses. It's only $200. I'm not setup for high production. We had to remove tile, thinset, tack strips, fill the tack strip holes etc, then grind and polish. 5 days with all the repairs.
