Looks like a Cimex for doing stone work

Thanks for the heads up. It would be great for my brother Dave. He does a lot of marble/terrazzo honing and polishing. He even does concrete polishing. It looks like a good deal.

I couldn't pass up that deal. Thanks for the heads-up, Tom. I owe you a beer or beverage of your choice (so long as you're not drinking what Nathan drinks!) when we meet.

Cool Scott! I'm happy that you got it. That was a steal even at the "Buy Now" price. I'm glad that it was one of the regulars who got it. Keep in mind that the HD48 shouldn't be used on carpet (too heavy and too fast). But it will be incredible for marble/terrazzo/concrete/stone. Now you just need to take a marble class or two and you'll be getting into a new and profitable business

Congratulations bud!

Guess I did my good deed for the day

Rick, I know the machine is heavier..but faster? Looks like it spins at the same RPM (400) as the one we use for carpet.

cimexintl.com lists the 48HD as a scarifier, but I assume it would also work for wood and marble since it has weights and a vac. shroud.

We presently use Stone Tech's line of powdered marble abrasives with our "lightweight" 48" Cimex, but hopefully this machine will do allow us to be even more productive.

Does your brother use this machine?

Scott

Scott,

I was thinking about the DF model. I was in error when I said the HD machine runs "faster". Oops! It's the DF model (Diamond Finisher) that runs at 800 rpm.

Your new toy will be awesome for marble/terrazzo/concrete floor work. Have fun with it!

Hay Scott, congrats on your steal!!!

I think you will find that machine to be WAY faster than using a standard weighted swing machine for powder polishing. No, personally I have not used my Cimex for powder polishing because it run at 800 RPM’s and it will just sling the compound out from under itself. At 400, I don’t think you’ll have the same problem. Let me know if it works for you. If it dose, I might get one for myself (If I can find a good price on it…LOL).
