The hallway finish has to come off tonight so the new coats can cure by Friday, and the whole plan depends on one machine starting and staying on the pad for hours. The \u003cstrong\u003eClarke CFP Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e 17HD and 20HD are low-speed floor machines (floor buffers, if that's what your crew calls them) that turn the pad at \u003cstrong\u003e175 RPM\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 hp motor\u003c\/strong\u003e behind it. That combination of low speed and torque is what stripping pads and scrub brushes need to cut through old finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEverything that takes a beating is metal: a \u003cstrong\u003ecast aluminum chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e, an \u003cstrong\u003eall-steel triple planetary gearbox\u003c\/strong\u003e and a heavy-duty 66-frame motor. Pick the 17-inch for classrooms, restrooms and offices, or the 20-inch for long corridors, gyms and open retail floors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"product-header-text\"\u003eThe Owner's Insights on the Clarke CFP Pro HD\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'll be straight with you: a 175 RPM floor machine is not exciting equipment. It's the machine that comes out of the closet every time a floor needs stripping, deep scrubbing or a spray buff, and it has to start every time. That's where the CFP Pro earns its price.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe weight is the first thing you notice. At 101 lb for the 17HD and 109 lb for the 20HD, it sits on the pad instead of skating over the finish, and the handle lock works with your foot, so setting the height doesn't mean bending over the base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy honest note: this is a single-speed machine. It won't give you a high-speed burnished shine, and a new operator needs a few minutes to learn how it moves (lift the handle slightly and it swings right, lower it and it swings left). If the machine will only come out a few times a year, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/viper%C2%AE-venom-vn1715-17-175-rpm-floor-machine-with-pad-driver\"\u003eViper Venom 17-inch floor machine\u003c\/a\u003e from the same Nilfisk family costs less.
