Polishing Kits

<< < (3/4) > >>

JonnyB:
The Kit I bought convert a bench grinder into a buffing/polishing tool.

I need to make a new bench to put the grinder on as I can't get the cam cover under the wheel properly.

I'll have some pics tomorrow and Ill post them up.

JonnyB:
Bum 'oles.

Just to let you all know, If you get the polishing kit to convert a Bench Grinder into a polishing wheel, make sure you get a powerful enough grinder. I bought a cheap one cost 15 quid, but it's only 150W, when you offer up the job to the wheel it stops it.

Any one else done this conversion and what power is the grinder.

hi..

I don't have a bench grinder, I use a dremel that goes up to 35K rpm, I fix the part I want to polish with some clamps to the bench and I work on it.

I've only been doing smal parts, for the casing I have a normal drill, but I haven't tried it yet...

John,
Are you in  the UK, if so which part? I am in Surrey.

JonnyB:
Finally got something polished, there's no stopping me now.

Got hold of a 375w bench grinder, from a local tool shop, ex window display model, good price.

 

Not bad for a first go. Don't get me wrong, you can't replace a good ally polisher for a really pro job, it makes you appreciate the hard work a professional polisher does.
