All you'd need would be an infrared thermometer, which I don't have.
What I do know for sure is that when I was making kinves, I heated files to a dull-to-medium red to anneal them and it worked perfectly. Anybody who is getting that kind of heat from buffing is a hell of a man...
A bias-cut cotton wheel would keep the heat down if you're still worried. That's the wavy kind, usually with a steel center.
