FLOOR BUFFERS - FLOOR BUFFER - FLOOR MACHINE - FLOOR MACHINES - FLOOR SCRUBBERS - FLOOR SCRUBBERAbout Floor Machines About Floor CareWhat is the difference between a Floor Buffer, Floor Machine, Floor Buffing Machines, Floor Scrubber & Floor Stripper. Nothing, they are what we call in the industry Swing Machines. The name comes from the swing motion the machines have when you operate them and are normally 175 rpm pad speed. These machines are for stripping, cleaning and floor buffing hard floors as well as scrubbing and bonneting carpeted floors. A high speed floor machine which is a 300 rpm will give you a little better shine when buffing but a 1500 to 2000 rpm burnisher will polish the floor.
