Try a military surplus site.
Buffers/polishers are used big time in the barracks on the wood floors, with
Johnson paste wax.
The big heavy duty models, maybe 24" diameter and will wrench your arm outta
the socket if you don't have a stout pair.
Even if you can find one that doesn't work, blow motor, you can put an old
washer motor on it.
I wouldn't mind having one laying around.
