Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

Recommendation for polishing wax floor

Postby RogerS » 14 Nov 2014, 12:00

Just wondering what you guys recommend for polishing Briwax on the study floorboards? I've looked at buffing pads for the angle grinder but not sure they are right. I also have visions of deep score marks from the spindle.

Have a Mirka Ceros and wondered if that would work?

I want to try and save SWMBO a bit of work.

TIA

I have two oak parquet floors in the kids bedrooms. I use my Makita random orbital sander with a polishing mop. Works well.

Does the polishing mop fix with velcro pad on the back?

yes Roger.
The one on the right is the underneath of the last one I used. On the left is unused.

Thanks, Andy.

RestExpress also came back to me with these two links..one of which looks similar to yours.

Alternatively we sell a Pine Drill Brush by Liberon which is specifically designed for use with wax products and just attaches to a standard drill.
