  • Ok, I called them.

    You need the grinder, the transformer, and the dust extraction - that's:
    Grinder £177
    Dust extraction £145
    Transformer £81
    Cables and stuff £30
    Grinding blocks £240
    For a total of £673, plus the VAT gives us £807, and then we need to add the damage waiver.

  • This seems unreasonably expensive...
    You ought to be able to buy a 3.3kva 110v transformer for what they're charging you in rental unless they're offering a 5kva or something a bit more hench... even at that a 5kva costs less than £200 so they're really going hard on you there...

    Ok... did a Google... try Brandon Hire instead... much better prices from what I can see and I've actually hired from them before and found them very good.

    I wouldn't get het up too much on getting a beefy extractor either as you'd be better off to keep the floor wet while you're working. You'll use less of the consumables and it'll keep the dust down for you. A decent "commercial" wet vac will be fine, keep the hose on and the doors open.

    Grinder £144
    Dust extraction £52
    Transformer £24
    Cables and stuff £8 (automatically added with grinder)
    Grinding blocks £? (give them a call to check)

    Total: c. £228+ consumables

    You could probably forego the damage waiver too to be honest... you'd need to be extraordinarily cackhanded to break any of this stuff...

    Happy grinding!
