Hawk F95-20-SS 20-Inch Glide 360 Sanding Star Floor Machine – 1.0 HP, 6-Qt Vacuum

Hawk F95-20-SS Glide 360 Sanding Star 20-Inch Floor Machine with Integrated Vacuum

The Hawk F95-20-SS Glide 360 Sanding Star combines a 360-degree rotating head with an integrated 6-quart vacuum system designed for hardwood floor sanding and screening operations. Running at 165 RPM with 124 lbs of downward pressure, the machine sands, screens, or polishes hardwood while the built-in vacuum captures dust generated by the sanding star attachment—eliminating the need for a separate shop vac and reducing cleanup time after sanding passes.

F95-20-SS Sanding Configuration, Vacuum, and 360-Degree Mobility

• Integrated vacuum: 6-quart capacity — captures sanding dust directly at the pad during operation; reduces airborne particles and eliminates post-sanding dust cleanup pass.
• 360-degree head — allows full directional movement across hardwood grain patterns without lifting or repositioning the machine.
• Motor: 1.0 HP — drives the sanding star attachment at 165 RPM with consistent torque across grain direction changes.
• Weight: 124 lbs — provides even sanding pressure across the full 20-inch attachment width on hardwood and bamboo floors.
• Noise: 66 dB — low enough for occupied-building wood floor maintenance work.

Hardwood Floor Sanding and Screening Applications

The F95-20-SS targets gym floors, hardwood retail environments, and residential hardwood restoration in facilities requiring between-coat screening, light sanding before refinishing, and polishing after finish application. The sanding star attachment screens and buffs hardwood without the directional limitations of a conventional single-pad machine. The 360-degree head allows the operator to work with the grain, across the grain, or at diagonal angles without changing machine orientation—covering the floor pattern in fewer passes. The 6-quart vacuum eliminates the slow, manual dust containment step that follows drum sanding, keeping total job time shorter.

Sanding Star System and Pad Compatibility

The sanding star attachment distributes pad contact across multiple contact points, applying even pressure across the hardwood surface without the risk of high-spot burns common with solid drum sanders. Compatible with standard 20-inch sanding screens and abrasive pads for screening between finish coats, or with polishing pads for final surface gloss on urethane and oil-based floor finishes. The combination of sanding star geometry and 360-degree mobility makes the F95-20-SS the professional choice for hardwood gym floors and large commercial hardwood areas where finish quality and dust control are both critical.
