A Hummel is only a finishing sander meant for the fine pass only it weights only160lbs and cost about $5000.00 making it cheap enough for and entry level machine
Many other companies do not angle sand their floors leaving a less flattened look with the rolling scalloped grain effect,
Trowelling of finish offers the best look
