Thanks Kev, I’ve had this buffer for a while, also have a commercial Dayton. I use this HF buffer 9 out of 10 times. It’s much smaller and plenty strong! Enjoy your videos.

Just picked one up to polish aluminum and small fasteners. It sure is quiet and looks to be decent quality. I pulled the cover off of the bottom and peeked inside before I plugged it into the wall.

From what little buffing I've done, you don't need a lot of pressure. Just make sure you have enough rouge on the wheel. We have some large scotchbrite wheels we use at work that are awesome for rough polishing before hitting them with the buffing wheel too. Looks like this will serve you well. Thanks for the review. I might consider one of these for myself.

Hi, I would like to get one to polish Casio watch faces, and flip phone plastic cases. Do you think it will work with them?

Good video thanks. Please remind everybody if you polish a knife blade that folds be very careful how you hold it and where you stand. Keep the point where the wheel can't grab it and spear you with it. Saw a young guy bust his thumb nail up pretty badly after i had warned him

What is your opinion on the $5 buffing pads you bought in addition to what it came with? I can't get the darn things to work on my bench grinder. I think they made the center hole (arbor?) too big, its like 3/4" and I can't get the washers to hug it tight enough to prevent them from working properly. Just wondering if you've had the same issue and if you've found a solution. Thanks!

You need to make a adapter to fit the shaft to the buffer pad, I used a PVC pipe cut to be less than the thickness of the pad and inserted a pipe fitting into the pipe and cut it off flush with the pipe. The hole in the fitting fit over the motor shaft , the pipe fit snugly into the buffing pad, by combining the two pieces they made up difference between the shaft diameter and buffing pad hole. The pipe is about 7/16" long. My adapter centered the pad and it runs smoothly.

Lmao looking at this for polishing firearm parts and accessories great video thanks!

thanks brandon that sounds like a good idea.

I bought this hoping it would double for a buffer but also occasionally throw on a wire wheel for crusty bolts or a 6in grind wheel to sharpen up the lawn mower once a year. I noticed the label though saying not to use grind wheels or any other type without giving a reason. Is this simply because it doesn't have guards or you think the buffer will break? Only using the buffers for now.

Not sure how well it works on resin but it works great on steel.

The reverse threads actually prevent a person from tightening the nuts at either end simultaneously. So with no shaft lock, how in the heck did you tighten the nuts?
