hi there on the first stage you use a grinder to take the rough away what grit was you using

[UncleJimmi]

@williamson606

I often stop with worn out 320

hey man.. ive been polishing for about a year now... ive wanted to try using a rotary sander but my pieces are pretty small (motorcycle parts) and im scared ill gauge them. hand sanding is a bitch though. tips? also what do you use to remove rouge between stages? or do you just take the part from one wheel and go directly to another? i dont want to contaminate my color wheels with cutting compounds.

nice setup you have.. i would love a wheel like that!

[UncleJimmi]

Sorry for slacking on your questions, Keep um coming and I will do better to keep up.

Best Buffing Synthesis. Try more man!

[montecarlo409]

and what kind of buffer do you have?

how fast does it spin?

[UncleJimmi]

@montecarlo409 My big one is a 5 HP Baldor and I also use a Makita 9227 polisher / grinder.

[montecarlo409]

Hi

you seem to know alot about buffers.

who makes a good buffer? I want one that is at least an 8 inch and spins some where around 3600 rpms.

[UncleJimmi]

@montecarlo409 You can bench mount a Makita and on mine I had an extention made for the shaft to get the wheels away from the machine and my fingers.

[jakalero]

just one question how do you get in the small areas?

[UncleJimmi]

@jakalero In many cases I make my own bits and bobs for a die grinder and belive it or not my fingers often do much of the work.

[21duramax]

Where do you get all of your supplies from?

[UncleJimmi]

@21duramax I use several differant companies, If you tell me what you are working on I can recomend the Co or product that would be best for that job.

[NicolaBurrow]

Nice work. Polishing must be the filthiest job there is. I was a polisher for a few years and I used to come home black every day.I also used to get some strange looks when purcasing my lunch in town.

[ScaryJudgeofCaracter]

I have done some work as a metal polisher here in Australia, I think I was working on the same machine as yours. I used to concentrate on antiques but once polished up a petrol tank and it nearly did my back in! Is that a grinder with a colouring mop? Or is it something else? I liked the wooden boxes around the buffing wheels, very good idea.

That is some quaility workmanship!

[tallicafan86]

hey dude im an aussie polisher as well lol

[Bhalakubhak]

nice!!! but how long it will last?

[Roger161]

That's awesome !! I wish you were by my location ( Northern Calif ). Im looking to get both my X-fusion Velvet mountain bike forks polished.

[0bscura]

Your tools and techniques are far superior to my methods. I polished a volkswagen engine by hand once using t-shirts, some polishing creme, and my fingers. It took days and my fingers hurt for a week.

Lookin' forward to the new MTB video. Keep up the good work.

[greenbull56]

nice work

can't wait to see your next mtb vid

[Apexjumpingg]
