Present workshop has a concrete floor which wasn't power floated when

Any way to achieve this finish now on the floor which most be 18 years
old at this stage ?

I had thought about self leveling cement but I have heavy machinery
which I move about now and then and my experience of self leveling
cement was that it wasn't very strong and tended to crumble.

Any other suggestions ?

About 25 sq mtrs involved.

Any method of doing it piecemeal would be appreciated as I don't fancy
having to pull everything out in one go.

I have used one of these: http://www.hss.com/index.php?g=6521

(But on new concrete) It left a smooth finish, that I then painted.

You will probably need extra carbide inserts, as they do get used up.
