Brian, there is a discrepancy in your post –
First you said – “.. .in fact, with a WerkMaster, we have never needed to go beyond 1 grit for lippage removal, whether it is on marble, granite, or other natural stone products”

Then, right after you’re saying – “We use two or three steel grits dry because the advantage is that : 1) Dry allows us to see where the picture framing is as we grind, so we are not grinding we.. .”

So you’ve never needed to do more than a single step, yet you are doing 2 or 3 metal steps because you’re doing it dry.. (Which one is it.?.) Something does not mach nor makes sense here Brian (at least to me)

Then you’re using terminology (picture framing) that is irrelevant (for reasons mentioned earlier above) in what you’re describing. You’re talking about visibility – It is more difficult to see the scratch-profile on a floor that was ground dry compared to the scratch-visibility you have on a floor that was ground wet (especially on a textured stones). No dry vac (Ermator, Dustcontol, Pulse-Bac, Ruwac etc) picks-up everything 100%, there always gonna be some swirls ‘filled-up’ with fine dust (unless you have used an auto-scrubber after).

As far as the product rates you have posted – That is easily doable with pretty much any 19”/20” machine on the market, even with a 17” ones equipped with a planetary head (in fact you would actually do probably 20% to 30% more, if the machine is heavier and more powerful, i.e. Klindex).

I totally disagree with your statement (with the following remark – Unless you’re comparing to single head low RPM rotary polishers) –

“Compared to all the other machines, I think you can agree that the performance of the WerkMaster with it's patent pending Octi-Disc Technology is a significant improvement over todays planetary designed machines”

------------------
What is your comparison point exactly - Production rates, Motor power, Ability to operate at variable speed levels, Down-pressure.?. . Convince us (me), but bring in actual numbers not just bare statements

Good luck!
