Lol. Never.

Wonderful video 👌 I recently walked in same shoes. One thing l surely wish you give a try!..a wirebrush wheel for your grinder. Polish stuff on this wheel before you bit the scotch brite wheel. You will get much better results. Also the wire brush wheel will help you get rid of those dark spots plus clean into intricate spots which other wheels can't reach.

Your Bach transitions in an instructional video were so very British. And very much enjoyed!

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!🙂👍👍👍

polishers usually have longer shaft so you can get objects in and around the polishing wheels. Bench grinders don't allow you to get into as many spots because of the shorter shaft.

Thanks, I often wondered what the difference was.

Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to set up a buffing/sanding system for a while now and that gave me the final piece of the jigsaw that will get me up and running.

Cool. My XT will need the casings cleaned up at some stage. Would love to see how it goes.

Thank you, very helpful to me

Indeed it is quit addicting. I recently converted a grinder over to do a bit of polishing, like you have done and it wasnt long before I was hunting around the shop for things that "needed" polished. Bang up job my friend!

Thanks! There's no reason anything in the workshop shouldn't be shiny.

Didnt even know you could get them adapter's for bench grinder . Just ordered them brilliant 👌👌👍

Just got this kit for one of my grinders 6" version!

The greatest danger of those spinning powertools is a bit of fabric on your body getting wound into the spinning bit, which quickly and violently pulls you in and does great damage. No gloves or sleeves or loose clothing near spinning powertools.

I found spraying water on the job and wheel makes it shinier! Like when buffing a paint job on a car! No over heating! Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work

I bought the same kit from them but I found the adapter it not 100% central when the grub screw is tightened, that's caused the wheels to not take polish consistantly around them due to oscillation. I'm making a point of turning the wheels so they wear more evenly. Thinking about getting the angle grinder adapter and rigging up a bracket to hold the grinder, only problem I see there is probably limited use because of heat build up. I get my polishing stuff elsewhere noe.

Actually a friend found a small defect with the roundness of the adapter too. Luckily for her she had a lathe and just improved it a bit.

Thank you very much :p

Very helpful video! I'm looking to clean up some Chasseur Escoffier copper pots that I've had for years. Can you help me to choose the right compound and buffer? The short story is that I accidentally burnt one of the pots by putting on some water to boil a few eggs, then lay down on the sofa and fell asleep (of course!!)... Woke up the next day to find the pot still on the stove and completely black!! Thankfully the pot seems structurally OK-no warping! I've got a fair way in restoring it using Bar Keeper's Friend, a lot of elbow grease, and time. But there are still a lot of black fleck marks on it still and the copper has dulled a lot. I'm looking to purchase a bench polishing wheel to fix this one up.... and, of course, keep it to touch up the pots to a beautiful shine every year or two. If you have any suggestions on what combination of wheel and compound would most suit the job, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know!

I couldn't tell you I'm afraid. The copper pots I have are plated, so I'd be very careful not to go through it. Call metalpolishing.co.uk, they are very knowledgeable and sold me the kit in the video. I note they have also gone and embedded it in their website which is nice. Would have preferred a little thank you comment though.

Know I'm a few months late buddy, the piece that's in two sections is deliberate so it could be used on a drill!

Nice video. The removable spindle to attach a mandrel is a wonderful idea but I cannot find the same anywhere. Can you please put a link to where you bought yours from. Thanks.

I got it from metalpolishingsupplies.co.uk. When I purchased, only the right adapter had a removeable spindle, the left was fixed.

Can you put a link to the company of the polishing products that you used? I like the converting tools they have

I've watched this video to find out how to attach the buffing wheel to the adapter. Do you really just shove it on and hope it stays?

@TooManyProjects

3 жыл бұрын

Yup. The resistance of buffing something tightens it as you go. And the grinders don't have brakes, so there's nothing that should knock it off.

Where did you buy the spindle adapters? (the right one on your grinder,not the conical one), Thank you.

Take a look here: metalpolishingsupplies.co.uk/ The left and right were supplied different, the left is one-piece. The right is two-piece, so it's an adapter, but you can also change the tool.

Yeah, from the site in my list comment.

If you convert just one side for polishing while leaving the other side for grinding, is that likely to introduce severe imbalance and vibrations?

I should think it'd be fine, you don't want metal shavings on the polishing tools though.

I'm pretty sure that you are supposed not to mix compounds on one wheel - because the sticks contain different abrasives and you really want not to contaminate the wheel you use for green, say, with black - not that I'd know much about it other than too many hours attempting to work out what to buy :-) Thanks for taking the trouble to make a really good video. Hope supper was fulfilling.

I personally wouldn't really worry about my kitchen knives being shiny. Only that they are sharp. And this is not a good way to sharpen them. But certainly if you want shiny kitchen knives, I'm sure this would work great.
