Sanding gyvlon

[Versatile]

Been trying to organise a sander for screed prep this weekend
Recommended off the forum was a universal rotary sander with 60grit
Only one place that can get hold of this machine and someone has it booked out for another two weeks
Any other ideas what I could use instead
Cheers

Tip tell them not to use gyvlon Screed next time what's wrong global with sand and cement

Shame your in Middlesbrough, would let you use mine. Victor sprite 450, only £150 off eBay, maybe worth you looking? Use mine a lot for polishing floors, buffing dealer and grimex Aswell as Laitance removal, well worth getting one

Can you just change the pads for different uses ?

 

[goz]

Yes, my drive board has Velcro pads on the bottom, the white polishing pads I use for buffing dealer and grimex,the Silicon carbide pads have a felt back that adheres quite well to the velcro. How do you post video on here? Took a quick vid of sanding Laitance today

What does your machine weigh @goz?
Was that a utube upload?

 

[goz]

Good ol YouTube! Not on Facebook !! Not sure how much it weighs, pretty heavy to carry, maybe 25 Kg?

 

[Old Mod]

If you could add weight to it, you might be surprised how much it reduces your working time.

 

[Old Mod]

You wanna try to treble that 25kg

Just been looking tonight for a scarifier/sanding product for my Victor 400. Drive plates aren't particularly cheap and not sure where I can buy sanding discs off the shelf and physically check the products before buying locally.
I'm wondering if black pads might suffice even if I chew through alot of them.
Also not sure if the 400 is man enough for the job.

Really?!!! Feels like I'm going down to the biscuit of the screed as it is, out of interest how to I go about adding weight?
