Re: Buffer?
I happen to prefer the slower lathe. The faster turning machines will throw the compound off and if you have had much experience polishing you will know how important it is to have plenty of compound on your wheel. They are also more difficult to control on dangerous parts that might have a tendency to grab and cause injury. The slower machines have more torque which makes the part more controlable. When polishing in nooks and crannies you want the part stable in your hand and not jumping around. that way you can keep the wheel focused in the area you want polished instead of jumping all around and chattering the the part up. However to each his own. all I can can go by is my 30 plus years of of doing this for a living everyday.
