| HA Hey Robert,i hope you know i was joking!!now i'm no pro,but i built a arbor several yrs.ago,put a pulley on one end and plenty of threads on the other end.i stack 12" cotton buffing pads on it,i think i got about 8 or 10 on it.my spindle speed is pretty slow.got to be careful,those things will grab,and throw your parts accross the house,and those dents are hard to get out.wish i knew more about it!i try different rouges,ect.man i love it,but its hard work,and the wife won't hardly know you when you go home at night!!haha,dirty work. farris |
