Dual Speed — One Machine for Stripping and Polishing

The M 20" replaces two machines in operations that strip and polish the same floor. At 175 RPM with a black or green pad, it strips finish and scrubs heavily soiled VCT. At 320 RPM with a white or tan pad, it polishes and spray-buffs without needing a separate higher-speed machine. The rolled steel base weighs more than polyethylene housings — increasing downward pressure for stripping — and the cast aluminum handle provides vibration dampening at higher speeds. Facilities managers working on hospital wing floors or government building lobbies that require weekly strip-and-polish cycles deploy the M 20" to cover both tasks with one tool at one replacement parts stock.
