New floor stripping machine.

[Scott S.]

Starting to love this thing, easy, so more slipping, no more chemical stripper (at most places).

just got this the other day, I bought the dust collection kit, and 2 22lb weights, 1 weight is all you need to really take the finish off fast.

no this is not a paid ad, and I was not paid or compensated in any way for sharing this.

They are pretty amazing. Yea it really throws the slurry when used wet.


We have one too, they work really well with the 3m spp pads. I just wish it wasn't so noisy .

 

[Scott S.]

the one I got you can easily talk over, its rather quiet

Ours sounds like a jackhammer. With ours you really need ear protection.

Nice job on the video! Those square scrubs with the SPP pads are amazing.

I like the square head. Seems it would do better along walls and corners. I want one.

Has anyone tried to strip urethane type coating with one?

 

[handdi]

we have one a good tool doesn't work on everything though but is handy to have.
they have cheaper pads then the 3 m avail and work just as well.

Squar-buff machines have been around for decades.

Improvements in pad have made more difference.

Yes they work on urethane.

You can strip vct, sand hardwood, polish concrete, polish marble/stone floors, you can also refinish terazzo.

B. Holy fracking cords batman... What if the place you are doing doesnt have many plugs??
C. what about going around a ton of shit??

The dry method of stripping is not for all floor scenarios. The square scrubb does not do well with very scratched floors or when the wax is heavily impacted with his soil load.

It is a very good tool for floor that don't have a lot of traffic or are maintained often.

Doug are you trying to upload a youtube?

Just cut and paste the original URL into your post

From what I can see, the square scrub is a bit more heavy duty, and you can stack more weight on a square scrub for polishing the harder surfaces.

So I ran the machine and the shop vac off the same circuit, next time I will probably bungee the shopvac to the machine handle and use a very short hose, and just use ties to wrap the cords together. Shop van filter lasted about 700sq ft before I opened it up and tapped the dust off, then kept on running. Took maybe 30 seconds to get the shop vac filter filter cleaned up.
