Anyone used a concrete floor grinder?

[Steviesam]

I am getting a small industrial unit soon, and it has a lovely newly laid concrete floor.

However, initially I am going to carpet tile it and am a tad worried it will be too lumpy.

I dont think it needs to be super smooth, like it would have to be for vinyl, so I was wondering if a concrete floor grinder would get it smooth enough for carpet tiles?

Anyone used one?

Thanks

How uneven is the surface wold be my first question?

If it is needed I would get someone who knows what they are doing, to do it.

Would not self levelling floor compound be a better solution (no pun intended)?

As above - generally far easier to add a bit than to grind a bit off

Thanks all.

Self levelling is a good shout. I was just a bit concerned that it is difficult to apply?

I am on a tight budget, so would like to do as much as possible myself.

Latex self leveling compound, a monkey could spread it.

Mix the 2 parts together, tip the lot over the floor, roll over with spiked roller, walk away for 24 hours.
Plus seals the surface , unlike concrete so less dust.
