Low-speed rotary floor machine vs. High-speed burnisher

Representative body/handle/pad geometry only; never imply a universal silhouette or RPM cutoff.

Original side-by-side line-art comparison of Low-speed rotary floor machine and High-speed burnisher. — Drawn from the same released illustrations as each tool's page.

Scored-use status

Reference-only comparison: excluded from scored practice until each listed restriction is cleared.

Before scored floor-machine versus burnisher comparison use, obtain specialist comparative signoff; accessory and chassis geometry are representative, not universal.
