Clarke® CFP™ Pro 20DS Floor Machine, 1.5 HP, 20" ???

[Aqua74]

Hi everyone...

I'm hoping to get some insight in the Floor Machine that has been in my storage shed for about 4 years.

I was given this very very heavy machine completely brand new and stored it for possible use in the future.

The present is now and I'm curious if I could ever use this for refinishing my floors?

I've done some research but I keep going in circles with the items I would need if to be able to sand my floors with this.
On Home-Depot website is also described as a Floor Scrubber.?

Basically the question is... Can I use this for sanding my floors?
If so, what and where can I find the sanding disks and all that I need to get started?

Here are a few pics of what I have.

That’s a good machine and could be used as part of a tool set to sand and finish a floor but I wouldn’t try sanding a floor with that alone.

What part of the sanding procedure would this sander be used for then?
Also, what type of sanding disks would I need and were to buy them, hopefully economically?

I ask all this because

I should mention the process I'm in at the moment so to have a better picture of my planing here.

First of all, I'm no professional...period!
I got some basic handyman skills but that is it.
Saying that...

I live in a two story home with three small rooms including the master bedroom.
The biggest area to sand would be the living room to the dining room downstairs.

The square area for each room is small and the floor is the original floor one and needs repairs and all that.

I need it to be done in a small budget and hopefully give the floor a quick pick me up "if possible" because after I'm done I'll be putting the house for sale.

You need to rent:
edger + sandpaper
drum sander and sand paper
sanding "clutch" plate for your 20" buffer

Here's a good site for quick reference.
