M 20" Dual Speed Floor Machine — 175/320 RPM, Rolled Steel, 1.5 HP

The Tornado M 20" (model 98484) offers 175 and 320 RPM dual-speed operation from a 1.5 HP dual-capacitor motor in a rolled steel base. The cast aluminum handle with cushioned grips and triple planetary gear drive support both low-speed scrubbing/stripping and mid-speed polishing on a 20-inch rotary disc. Weight: 105 lbs. Optional 3-gallon solution tank (F91P).

  • Cleaning path: 20 inches
  • Disc speeds: 175 RPM (scrubbing/stripping) and 320 RPM (polishing)

  • Housing: rolled steel base with bumper guards
  • Handle: cast aluminum with cushioned grips
  • Gear system: triple planetary
  • Wheels: 5-inch non-marking self-lubricating
  • Solution tank: 3 gal, optional (F91P)
  • Weight: 105 lbs
  • Dimensions: 26×20×49 in

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What two speeds does the M 20" operate at?
The M 20" (98484) operates at 175 RPM for stripping, scrubbing, and shampooing, and 320 RPM for polishing and spray buffing — two speed settings controlled by the same machine.
How does the M 20" differ from the Brute Force 97564B?
The M 20" (98484) has a rolled steel base and dual-speed 175/320 RPM capability from a dual-capacitor motor. The Brute Force 97564B has a high-density polyethylene body and single-speed 175 RPM. The M 20" steel base adds more downward pressure; the Brute Force polyethylene housing absorbs vibration better.
What housing does the M 20" use?
The M 20" uses a rolled steel base with soft non-marking bumper guards — heavier than polyethylene models for increased downward pressure during stripping operations.
Does the M 20" include a solution tank?
No. The solution tank is optional — model F91P, 3-gallon capacity — suitable for wet scrubbing and carpet shampooing applications.
What handle does the M 20" use?
The M 20" uses a cast aluminum handle with cushioned grips, providing vibration dampening at 320 RPM polishing speeds and ergonomic comfort during extended use.
