I have been trying to be good and not buy much this year but I have my eye on a few items soon....Ooops just pressed the buy now button !!!!!!:drool5:
 
What floor sander are you thinking of ?

Whatever I can find at the right price Neale, It's got to be 110v though. I've just been looking at the STR701 on ebay, I've hired them a few times and they are really heavy duty which is what I want. It will be used on anhydrite screeds as and when but must of the time it will be used for sanding SLC when I'm laying vinyl.

I was looking at those too. Really need to sort something out soon. I hate sanding floors !

There's a guy in Kent listing some with a buy it now of £699 or make me an offer. I'm heading down to London on Tuesday to look at a couple of jobs so I'm going to ask if he'll take £500 cash for one. Because they have the 32amp plug on I have to hire the transformer too which costs me £80 a time all in, buying one would soon pay for itself.
 
Picking up a sledgehammer at 7am tomorrow from screwfix. Actually quite excited!!! Sad, but true!
 
How does this machine cope with smaller areas though. My jobs tend to be Kitchen size and sometimes with kitchen installed.
