Maybe you could talk Caswell into special ordering you one of the 2hp buffing machines they used to sell. I love mine. 3360rpms@8.90 amps. I had to buy a 3,000watt 110v/220v AC to AC converter to run it because it has a european style 3 prong plug and needs 220v to run, but it was worth it. The amount of torque this thing puts out makes it possible for me to lean on it with all of my weight and build up so much heat that a part gets too hot for me to hold even with insulated gloves on. (Not that this is necessary, just shows how powerful it is.) If the thing never craps out on me, it'll be the last buffing machine I'll ever buy.
