hello all,
thanks so much for the instant help, i'm pleased you guys can understand the HP etc and you are so right about the bigger picture, in the long run it will pay me to get a good buffer,appreciate your help in finding a buffer, to be honest money isnt a massive issue as my wife is behind me on buying the relevant tools etc,i dont want to buy '****' tools especially if they are under powered and learning will be a struggle if errors happen and the remedy becomes to buy a more powerful buffer...
one of the 1st things i done when i registered on this forum is to download and print the Free How to Buff and Polish Manual, and i have read it back to front countless times it is a great help.
my wife asked me why i havent bought the buffer off ebay yet, and i told her that hopefully you guys would stear me in the right direction,and once again you all have come up trumps! mind you she still isnt happy that the out-house has been emptied of all our daughters toys etc to make room for me to practice,let alone my Enfield's engine parts slowly appearing from the garage into the house,i have already sorted the ventilation out in the outhouse and up graded the power supply.
do you guys rate casswell for buying your compounds and wheels,as ebay is full of many makes, i have refrained from buying any till i buy the buffer and then work from there, i.e. size of wheel i am thinking 6-8'' but no doubt i will go through some wheels til i find my feet with pressure/compound application,you guys will of been there at some point.the one good thing is i have the Mikcarb Carburettor from my Enfield to do as it is getting replaced by a higher performance carb,so i could polish it and then sell?? i am lucky the frame is tubular steel painted,even though i aim to get it powder coated in the future, so no guessing where i will seek advice from
ok guys i have bumped my gums long enough,i suppose i should do some work,many thanks again.
