So I have an extra 1750rpm, 1/2hp. I want to use it for buffing handles. From what I understand there are lots of wheels and what not, but what I want is a wheel that allows me to put different buffing compounds on it and then buff the handle for a final super shiny finish! :biggrin:
The plan would be to hand sand my stabilized handles to about 400 grit, then start wet sanding with true-oil to desired grit, and then buff the true-oil, then use some type of compound (white rouge?, Pink (no scratch) )? (no idea what those are)
What type of wheel do you guys suggest and buffing compound (spiral sewn buffing wheel, i see there are different types of this wheel)? I know there are lots of stuff out there and I have only seen it once by another maker.
So I guess a wheel for just buffing with compound.
And I know that a buffer can be the most dangerous tool in the shop....
