This is the same system guys have been polishing big truck wheels and fuel tanks with a hand held. Its truly amazing what this can do. They also have a liquid polish you can finish up with just using a fiber cloth for that extra fine mirror.
Just what i was looking for. I appreciate the video. I will be in my shop today making a buffer from all thread and whatever motor i can find 🤣

Want to mirror polish a Manix 2 blade for me this year? This year I want my big project knife to be a mirror polished Manix 2. Was originally thinking about harvesting a MagnaCut blade from a Salt, but people have been having huge problems getting them to work in G10 liners, so now I'm thinking about CPM Cruwear when the Crucarta Manix drops.

Hi from ireland, super videos.. ive a question, what or when do you decide between buffer wheels vs scotch brite belts vs very high grit belts for getting the finish? Thanks

I take most blade finishes to the same grit no matter what final finish I plan to do
Use a wood bastard file to rough them up

Could we use something like that to polish the edge as well? For example after sharpening on a guided system as a finish?

These could be a game changer for me also, many thanks for bringing this product to the community's attention. Since you've used them for a while, do you have any feel for how long each wheel is likely to last? 100 blades each? 500?

Hey dude, started using this kind of buffing and polishing system for about 20 years on many different metal projects, just hobby stuff, and motorcycle parts. To get super fine needs i use cape cod polishing clothes. This will polish out small scratches in glass and mirrors. Have you used this for anything? I like to see others work and get good tips . Never to old to learn. Do you use epoxy glue on you scales. If so what kind. Thanks. Good video. Gunna subscribe.
