Concrete grinding question

[8mpg]

Im converting my carport to a garage (previous garage converted to living space). Its a trowled finish just not very smooth. Its only a 2 car garage (400ish sqft). Im trying to figure what grinder to use to smooth it out. Diamabrush on a floor buffer, diamabrush on a grinder, or get the Home Depot Edco 10" grinder.

Suggestions? I can get a pic of the concrete if needed.

Post a pic or 2.
How smooth do you want it?
What type (if any) finish will you use?

My goal was to do epoxy of some sort...Here are some pics. Its hard to take picture to show the profile...

That looks like a rough broom finish. Your best bet would be the 10" Edco in this case. The Diamabrush on a hand grinder will work, but you would be replacing blades before you were finished.

Go Edco. A Diamabrush would take longer to get rid of the broom finish.

Thanks for the advice from everyone. Im going to try and rent it this week. Next up is choosing one of your products.

Diamabrushes will not work. Edco is the better of the 2 choices.

Good luck
