Idea for polishing fins faster

[quadracer2cool4u]

Let me start off by saying I've never polished any large fins. Only some fins on a valve cover that where easy. So pretty much I'd like someone who has done a decent amount of heads and cylinders to lmk me know what you think. Who knows, maybe everybody is already doing this. My idea is to have about 4-5 razor buffs on one shaft at a time, but with spacers in between. Lets say between each razor you put a washer, about the thickness of a fin. It would pretty much be a fork type buffing wheel, so you could buff 5 fins at one time. Obviously it's going to grab and will want to knock it out of your hands. Probably a low rpm buffer would be best. LMK what you think.
