Great job Cameron. I love seeing finished work like this. Gives me a good idea of what to get for my remodel.

Hi Mike
Excellent job! Did you use any polishing powders or just diamond abrasives?

Here are two pictures of the same area of a Saltillo Paver floor. First is during the stripping process, showing some tiles that have been stripped and some that have not yet been stripped. The second picture is of the same area completely finished.

Wow Mike, nice work. I didn't know those Saltillo tile could look so good. The HO must be thrilled with you.

Same to you Musky Mike. Bet it was rewarding to see the stone charactor come out in the finished product.

Thanks PC7060. We have specialized in Mexican Pavers for 32 years. Most guys hate them but we have our own stripper made for us and that along with my guys doing them every day really helps.

That's incredible. I hate doing Saltillo, but we get stuck with a few jobs here and there.

Cameron, would an HTC 500, with correct tooling, be capable of that kind of task?
I bought one a while ago and I've only used it to prep floors quickly. I also polished 700 ft of concrete with it. It did well polishing...once I got the hang of it.
By the way, that floor turned out great!
