what are you going to do with it? high speed is for polishing only. you can not strip, scrub, shampoo, bonet...anything.......JUST POLISH.

You are probably looking for a low speed. They can do everything except high speed polish.

low speed is 350 rpm and under.

high speed is 1500+ rpm.

Generally it depends on work which you wanted to acquire generally for small restaurant low speed will work.

Wood flooring is available in a number of sizes and make-ups; each offering has its own distinct advantages!

Learning to operate an industrial floor buffer is not easy, but it can be done with patience, practice, and a light, steady hand. If you find yourself losing control, shut off the machine immediately, regain composure and start again. Ask for assistance whenever necessary.

I need to wax my hardwood floors. I'm torn between buying an inexpensive automotive buffer and renting a floor buffer. I have to do our entire house a little bit at a time so I'm leaning toward not renting since the cost could add up pretty quickly. What I need to know is whether the random orbital motion of a car buffer is okay for floors? Or is it important to use a floor buffer that has a circular motion. Thanks in advance to anyone with suggetions!
