Questions & Answers

For one of my WW1 gewehr 98s, the bolt assembly, receiver, and a few other parts are going to be polished and reflective. Will this work for this project?

Although you would have to get a different buffing wheel and polishing compound depending on the stiffness of your engine.

When a buffing wheel pad needs to be cleaned, what should you do?

Wool buffing wheels can be cleaned with AES' cleaning tool using the wool buffing wheel cleaning liquid. Amazon sells it. You can find it here.

Is this product effective in polishing rock and fossils?

The polishing could be possible if you had a way to hold whatever is to be polished. In addition, the polishing compounds were dried up and the buffing wheels did not function properly. As far as the machine was concerned, no problems were encountered.

What are the benefits of using it to ?

As long as you know what you're doing, you can use it to buff wood. The problem with buffing wood on this machine is that the speed is too fast, so you run the risk of scorching the wood if you apply too much pressure. *br>Besides the proper compound and correct buffing wheel, a gentle hand is equally important. The best way to buff wood is with a slower machine, i.e. The rotation speed should not be faster than 1750 rpm.

With only one trick, you'll get 10 stars
5/5

Here's a review to read. As you can see, I'm happy with the quality, the smooth, quiet operation, and the fact that the machine includes both soft and hard buffing wheels. To buff stainless steel bolts on hunting rifles, I purchased this product. The reviews on this unit appear similar to those of the unit that HF sells. Well, the wheel started choking down and almost stopped while I tried to buff my bolt. I tried again and got the same error. Disappointed was the best way to put it. A lightbulb suddenly went off in my head! Firstly, I removed the wheel that I was not using (soft wheel), the spacer, the two-piece axle, and the two-piece wheel nut A disc is glued to the back, and a nut is screwed on from the other side. You're done! I am astounded! It's amazing what a difference there is. I can hear it screaming! To hold my parts tightly, I had to hold them very tightly to keep them from slipping out of my hands. It was like holding I feel strong, capable, and affordable now, but it is always small and quiet. I'd love to hear what happened if you tried it on yours. From this afternoon, mine has turned into a daylight, and I'm just in love with it. Let's see what you can do with mine.

It's nice to have a buffer
5/5

The last time I had this was about 6 years ago I've been using this app for 8 weeks now, and have used it 8 times so far. If used for knife blades or handles, I think it does a great job of polishing copper, silver, and silver, My grandmother gave me an old knife (model 1960) that was a little rusty and had some age marks The buffer did a good job of polishing the blade and getting rid of unsightly smudges, marks, and rust. The speed is acceptable for the kind of work that I do with it. In the event that one uses too much pressure against the wheel, one can reduce the RPMs. It will feel as if your speed is decreasing and that you will feel a 'burning' sensation either from the piece being polished or from the compound However, with practice and experience, one will quickly be able to use just the right amount of pressure to finish a task effectively. As far as I am aware, the buffer machine is heavy enough that one does not have to secure it to the When you work on your project piece, the device does not walk (move around from side to side or back and forth). The six-pack was purchased by me To use the other two, I would have to purchase separate buffing wheels, as one should not mix different compounds on the same wheel. The buffer comes with a set of four piece compound sticks, although I am only using two at the moment. The buffer machine is a good choice for both small and moderate work tasks.

A knife's edge must be sharpened
5/5

The sole reason I picked it up was that this leather wheel would be useful for sharpening knives. The wheel is designed to rotate away from you when sharpening a knife, which is the opposite rotation from the one shown. It would be possible to turn it around, but then the power switch would be on It is easy to fix this by removing the base and rotating it so that the power switch is in the front. This will cause the wheel to rotate away from the user's hands. You'll need to remove the four screws holding the cover plate down and also the capacitor bracket and two additional screws that hold the motor to the base, rotate the board, and then put the two motor screws back, the capacitor bracket, and the four screws that hold the cover plate to the base. It uses very little energy, runs smoothly, and maintains a very high level of sharpening. For the price, it is a very solid buy. This is a recommendation I would definitely make.

I love how it works! As far as the machine itself goes, it The combination of the Polishing kit with various polishing compounds will be able to polish A few drawer pulls and a tag holder from an old metal cabinet were polished with it, as well as other brass items I bought
5/5

It only took me a couple of minutes to pull each banner, which I didn't expect to occur over the course of several hours. It helps a lot to know Polish! got a different set of polishing wheels, which turned out well for my project, because I needed a firmer wheel.

It's actually fun and relaxing to polish. As you watch an old and tired item come back to life, you get a sense of satisfaction.

These steel rods are perfect for sharpening knives
5/5

A heavy duty buffer with the capability of being modified so as to have the motor's spin direction in the opposite direction was required. If you just turn a buffer around, you can turn the power switch on the back of the buffer. There could be a lot of frustration with that! There are four screws that hold the rubber feet in place. Then there are two screws that hold the metal base to the buffer. Remove the two screws that hold the metal base to the buffer. The power switch can be on the back. It had to be temporarily removed from the inner base because it is attached to an enormous resistor (I believe it to be a resistor). My next step was to reattach the resistor and ground wires so they were not twisted up after I reattached the base. I added a Sharpie note to the top side of the buffer reminding users to change the direction of spin before using it.

LOW speed is NOT what you're after
4/5

The unit is decent. A speed wasn't listed in the product description, but there was a response in the Q&A section. This meant it was spinning at This is not the case. 3450 is the correct number. The buffer I wanted really had to be low speed.

The motor on this device is weak
3/5

Despite the ad saying it is 1/2 horsepower, the motor is actually 3/4 horsepower. That's not going to happen. If you grab it with your bare hand at full speed, you can stop it. No label indicates that this machine is 1/2 hp there is no label on the machine. It does not have a HP rating. It is a cheap toy being passed off as a tool by Chinese manufacturers.

The whole process is very smooth
5/5

The knife blade sharpener and polisher I bought is for sharpening and polishing knives. I have never seen a grinder run as well as this one. Considering its weight and strength, it isn't heavy duty enough for hard grinding, but it is great for.
