Has anybody used silicone carbide discs on floor polishing machines to remove laitence from anhydrate screeds .

Use discs made of silicon carbide, for scratching marbles or smooth substrates. I also used discs of tungsten carbide, last much longer, but I prefer silicon carbide.

Just wondered how effective they are and whether I should get some to go on my polisher

I use a 60 grit sanding disc - works well

I've only used them on a low speed, very heavy floor prep machine. 60 grit is perfect.

Did he wear stilts while he used it, or does the handle drop right down?
