For finishing Hard surfaces, industry
professional finishers and manufacturers favor the planetary-orbital system.
Tests reveal this method to have limited effect on concrete and virtually
none on terrazzo. Numerous attempts with variations on this concept failed
to yield any significant break-through. This required a radically different
approach be taken.
-
A major break-through
was achieved in 1998. I.S.S discovered that a permanently fixed eight
head design concept was the answer. Our first proto-type though crude was
effective. Here is what we accomplished.
-
Removal of Lippage (that annoying
high spot). Even from stone tile with very little effort.
-
Zero
clearance to wall and flat surfaces with virtually no damage
-
Extensive research has shown that resin
and ceramic-based diamonds run optimum between 800 to 1100 rpm. Any higher
velocity will result in excess water spray and problematic heat buildup,
resulting in surface discoloration, swirl marks and reduced pad life.
Maintaining a speed of approximately 800 rpm, allows the machine to work in
its own slurry, reducing considerably the need for large volumes of water.
-
The Flatmaster-12 also doubles as a
countertop unit that is perfect for boardroom conference tables, kitchen
countertops and islands. Each week we receive suggestions on new uses for
the FM-12.
-
Whether doing residential and commercial
contracts without a doubt, the FM-12 is the machine of choice. At a starting
weight of 125lbs, an average sized man can transport this machine with ease.
-
Some applications do require higher
surface pressure. Specially designed weights can be added to the machine’s
footprint which can increase its total weight to approximately 300lbs. The
Flatmaster-12 is not a toy.
-
The Flatmaster has
proven itself on three continents, and continues to receive worldwide
acclaim as the future of stone finishing.
