A floor stripping machine having the electric motor and hydraulic pump placed just aft of the blade engages adds weight to the blade and provides for a narrower more compact design with a lower center of gravity for better maneuverability and ease of access to narrow halls, doorways and rooms. A battery powered floor stripping machine may have batteries stored in the housing under the seat and have auxiliary batteries behind the seat on top of the housing for easy of removing the batteries for recharging. Additional batteries and or weights can be used on either side of the housing. In alternative embodiments the floor stripping machine can be remote controlled. Battery management with the auxiliary batteries being recharged during the day allows for eight hours of use. A trunk may store batteries, which can be slid onto a trailing cart to change batteries.
A planetary grinding machine having a simple design with a minimal number of parts, which are all easily accessible for maintenance and repair is disclosed. The machine has a rotating planetary disk with rotating screeding disks attached. The planetary disk is driven by a shaft extending through a top housing cover plate, which supports a transmission driven by a motor. As the planetary disk rotates, a single belt engages a stationary gear on the cover plate and pulleys on screeding disk shafts to turn the screeding disks as the planetary disk is turned. The belts and pulleys for the drive mechanism are sandwiched between the planetary disk and the top cover to protect the mechanisms from dust and debris. The bearings are sealed to prevent dust and debris from entering and oil from escaping. The bearings, being on the inside of the planetary disk, keep oil from landing on the floor.
