Q: What brush comes with this?

Hello-mar s: No brushes came with the machine, but I purchased, the Oreck Orbital Complete Clean value Kit, I think its like $139 on Amazon, but gives you two brushes-Orange, which I found too rough for most applications, but outside decks, bare concrete etc., the Black brush was perfect for carpets, epoxy floors and tile. The kit comes to clean carpet with a dry solution. I have not tried that yet, but will soon. The machine is WONDERFUL for cleaning tile and epoxy floors that have embedded dirt. I got the larger unit-heavier motor. If you don't want that entire kit, just spend the money on the black brushes. I got several of them. They do flatten or spin out, or will soon. That being said, I am still using the first one, and it still works great. Its a GREAT machine, and none like it that I have seen. It gets into corners very well. The machine is heavy, but that adds the needed weight for deep cleaning that smaller units will just lightly brush over, making them almost useless. I hope this helps!

Q: can you buy a screen kit for removing urethane coating on hardwood floors and how well does this machine work for that

I haven't used the machine to remove urethane. Here is what the ORECK manual says sandscreening:Sandscreening is ideal for refinishing the polyurethane coating on hard wood floors. The procedure is not designed to totally remove the old polyurethane, but smooth out imperfections and prime the floor for a new fresh coating. However, polyurethane coatings are generally very durable and look good for a long time - try a thorough cleaning before refinishing the polyurethanecoating to see if the luster can be restored.Equipment and Material Required:* Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine* Black Drive Pad Holder* Brown Strip Pad* Sand Screen 60 grit* Sand Screen 80 grit* Sand Screen 100 grit* Broom or Dust Mop* Vacuum Cleaner* Tack RagsProcedure:1. Use Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine and the brownstrip pad.2. Place #60 grit sand screen disc under brown strip pad. Sand the floor. Remove residue by vacuuming or sweeping the floor in the same direction as the boards.3. Place a #80 sand screen disc under the brown strip pad. Sand the floor.4. Sweep and vacuum the floor, then tack rag THOROUGHLY.5. Apply finish according to manufacturer's recommendations.6. Burnish between coats with #100 grit sand screen disc and tack rag.

Q: Will this clean tile that looks and feels like stone. My tile has a lot of grooves and divits. I need something that gets down into the holes.

It works great on my grooved & textured ceramic tile floors using using the floor cleaner recommended by Oreck but you must use old towels or rags to wipe up the liquid/dirt before it dries.

Q: can it be used for applying wax?

This would be used for prepping the surface prior to waxing. Such as stripping old wax from the floor, or for doing a top scrub to remove the top couple layers of wax before applying additional coats for maintenance.
