KMS Woodworks on Jun 20, 2013I would go with a "floor buff" type machine...these are 16 to 17" diameter and can be rented at most tool rental outfits. I own one and use it in my hardwood refinishes. I have also used in on a couple concrete projects. A 40 grit pad is a good place to start.Helpful Reply
