Buffing Machine

Length - 03:33

The buffing machine is a valuable tool for concrete contractors to buff wax onto finished concrete floors as well as to clean concrete floors in preparation for a coating, acid stain, or water-based stain. This machine works with interchangeable pads. Each pad has a specific purpose: cleaning, buffing, or waxing. Bristle brush attachments are typically used to apply waxes to concrete floors while pads are used to clean the concrete surface. When doing general maintenance of concrete floors, use an all purpose cleaning pad. If you are doing surface preparation for an acid stain use a stripping pad to remove contaminants like drywall dust, paint, and other material on the concrete surface that will discolor the stained concrete floor. Be cautious when using buffing machines around walls. Lean your weight into the machine when you turn it on. To move the machine back and forth across the floor, simply lift the handle up to move it to the right or push the handle down to move it to the left. Small movements are effective, so only move the handle up or down in ¼-inch increments.
