    I'm still waiting for a price for a smaller machine.
    You do need something that isn't too light as you need the weight to grind with, otherwise it'll just skim over rather than grind

    I'm also looking at a weekly hire of grinder and vac, delivered to you and collected when done.

    Do you have a specific job coming up or are you just asking in general?

    Doesn't the disc just clog up?
