Maybe you can shed light on how does the Cimex work on stripping floors, If you did try it, how bad were they?
I have some floors to do that are messed up where there chairs roll back and forth.(they do not use chair mats, or do they want to).

Any pics would be nice.

Thanks

I've stripped more floors than I care to remember. I had always used rotary machines (prior to the Cimex). What I observed with a rotary is that we'd often end up leaving behind a few small spots of finish on the floor after we were done stripping. And that's not a real problem, because you can't see it after you put down a few coats of finish. But with the Cimex and the Lightning strip pads we get it all. Not a speck of finish is left on the floor. Nothing but bare tile. And another cool thing is that the Cimex doesn't sling the stripper up the wall like a rotary will, because of the planetary design. Give it a try, I think you'll be pretty impressed.

Try it and fill the cimex tank with water. This will add a little more weight plus I run it through as I scrub. Seems to work better plus the slurry will not dry up and is easier to shop vac.
