The American Sanders RS-16 buffer bumper is a protective rubber component designed to prevent impact damage to walls, furniture, and the machine itself during floor sanding, polishing, or cleaning operations. It is compatible with both the RS-16 and RS-16DC rotary floor machines. Made from durable rubber, the bumper absorbs shocks and resists wear, helping maintain a professional appearance on job sites by preventing scuffs and damage. It wraps securely around the base of the machine and is essential for safe and smooth operation.
