Which Grinder Should I Rent?

[bikerneil]

I have read many, many threads and I am ready to pull the trigger on an Epoxy floor and I will be self-installing. I understand success is proportional to preparation so I will start with a few questions on preparation:

Which Diamond Grinder tool is best? I plan to rent the machine from Home Depot and I have seen people on this site using different models. One is much larger (and probably more cumbersome), and the other would seem to be more manageable - but will it get the job done?

The two floor grinders I am considering are:
Floor Polisher (Clarke American Sanders) http://www6.homedepot.com/tool-truc...3011c2&cm_mmc=CJ-_-4003003-_-11210757&cj=true

or...
Concrete Grinder (Edco) http://www6.homedepot.com/tool-truck-rental/Concrete_Grinder_10/50200-HD/index.html

I am concerned about handling / managing the bigger one (bottom one). I am guessing I will need to hand-grind corner areas?

Thanks.

Neil

Neil we use the DB as a secondary tool for smaller areas or getting close to walls. It does a good job but is slow.

The Edco will get the job done for sure. That would be my choice.

Edco is most popular and easy to use. Yes, hand grinding is often needed in tight areas, corners and edges.
