Rick, where I can buy the brushes for polishing concrete with the Cimex?. Do I need the weights? Thanks

Ultimately the 48DF (Diamond Finisher) or the 48HD (Heavy Duty) machines would work best.

If you'll be using the standard CR48 you'll need at least the additional 80 pound weight set option ($380 with shipping). You'll also need to get the Velcro drivers for attaching the diamond discs.

Regardless of which machine option set up that you go with you'll also need to get a complete set of diamond abrasives (approx $180 set times 6 sets = $1080)

It's kind of expensive to get started - but man there is some BIG money in marble/terrazzo/concrete.

If you'd like to learn more, my brother Dave has now made this the focus of his business and he's always willing to help... http://www.1800MarbleGuy.com

And if I can help you, just give me a call.

Shoot me an email to my personal box and I’ll gladly help you out anyway that I can when it comes to hard surface flooring. Be careful, polished concrete is an amazing thing. You can do about a million different things with it and get some incredible results.
