are you sure that you meant to say that you have the extra long extenders on there? I have the shorter ones and they arent near as long as the ones in your pics. OR.....do these:

slide over the shaft of your motor(and dont have threads inside), then these:

screw on to the first shaft extenders?
I saw that bench mandrel shortly after my last post.....i'll def. be trying one out for the price difference of buying a whole new buffer. I saw some posts about the difference different diameter wheels make. I prefer to use 8" due to being able to angle parts while buffing without hitting the shaft. Is it true that 6" wheels would be better for me?
Thanks again
