Bench Polishers
Oddjob:
No Ted, I like to do it outside as it does generate quite a lot of fibres, they fly off the mops, especially the felt ones. I do wear eye protection, sometimes a full face mask if it's a small piece, I wear a breathing mask as well, cannister type. Tend to wear gloves a lot as the pieces can get extremely hot, I've been known to wear soaking wet ones so they stand up to the heat better. I also like to do it against the garage door, so if the piece grabs and flies off it hits the door and doesn't get lost. Had a piece fly 30ft down the garden once.
One thing to warn you about, you will get INCREDIBLY dirty doing this, right now I look like a coal miner, seriously if anyone saw me they'd think I was a racist doing black face

The one you have bought seems a great price for the size of motor etc but if I'm reading the specs the bar is 20mm dia ?
I see it comes with cotton pads but the scotchbrite type ones for surface prep etc seem to come with a much smaller hole .... so IF I'm on the right track ... by the time you have found some 20mm pigtails the price will be much higher ?
Or am I missing something ... which is more than possible

I might see if they sell Scotchbrite wheels or as and when buy some end tails.
Matt_Harrington:
You can get 20mm pigtails. Just remember to get a L/H or R/H one! (or both!) ;)
