Default Re: Adjustable Air Mini-Die Grinder Advise Please :)

I have spent the past two days polishing stainless with two die grinders, one straight and one angle. I have been using a variety of buffs: 3 inch sewn buffs, one inch diameter felt bobs, 1/2 inch felt bobs, and 3/8 inch felt bobs. I use them at full speed and at all other speeds too. I just control it with my hand on the trigger. Be sure to tape the chucks so you won't gouge your work. And wear goggles. Anything spinning at 20,000 rpm will hurt your eyes if it turns loose.

(Sears sells an adapter for the Roto-Zip tool that fits a 1/4 inch chuck and holds Dremel sized bits, for about 7 dollars. It uses an allen wrench to hold in the Dremel bit. That way I can use the 1/2 inch and smaller felt bobs, with 1/8 inch shanks, in the die grinder.)
