I am setting up my buffing machine and am looking for recommendations on the type of wheels to use. I've looked at Grizzly and Caswell's. Lots of choices?? |

caswell has the best deal i've seen on the canton flannel wheels which are what you want. |

Got mine form Grizzly and have been quite happy. Don't know what Caswell's pricing is though. |

caswell do a 2 for the price of 1; 14" works out to less than $8.00 each. |

Well I made a decision. I bought a 1hp baldor motor, a gokart axel and bearings and some buffs from Caswell and it is really nice to have a real buffing machine!! Thanks for the advice! |

You want to if possible make the machine with a few speeds. I made my own buffer much like the Parma unit. I run it at 400-600 and 800. This affords me good control on the finish without fear of burning through. Cone pullies and having the motor on a hinge system makes fast speed changes |

be careful with a 1hp motor; the poser is a blessing and a curse. the problem with having a lot of power is that it won't stall if you push too hard; it will keep right on trucking and heat will build up before you know it and you will get burn throughs. also if you are a little careless with your presentation it takes a lot firmer grip to make sure it doesn't take flight. |
