Ordered me up a new toy today too! Getting a Jet JSB-10H 1hp buffer. Had to call Jet tech support to see how much "oomph" it had. 16A@110V. I think I'll be hard pressed to bog this thing down. (I'm gonna be hard pressed to LIFT it at 106 lbs.. heheh)

$139.95.. Not bad considering the Baldors with similar specs are easily twice that. Should see it in about 7 biz days.. Now to go order up a ton of new wheels for it.

Anyone need any polishing done? ehheeh

do a google search for your buffer and you will find the online users manual and it can be wired for 220 volts as well and usually will pull 1/2 the amps of 110 volts. will be a dramatic saving on your power bill in a years time.

lol! One of those little 2' aluminum ones that'd fold up if ya sneezed too close to it?? The mental image I'm getting cracks me up.

I'm gonna hit the metal supply house tomorrow for some 4" pipe and a piece of 1/4" plate and build myself a stand - I need an excuse to break out the torch I bought and have used ONCE in 2 years. heheeh

Yep. Already planned to do this. I'm going to add a few more circuits to my garage setup, including a couple 220 outlets. My wife is gonna shoot me if I start poking more holes in the drywall. heheh

Bah...i feel so young.....all you married folk around here.

i had to put it some where .. my other stand has my other buffer on it and the bench don't have anymore room .... in the spring when i reopen my shop i will have it all worked out i hope ..... .... i used my torches alot this winter ,,,,, i had an idea about what to do will all the left over motor pars from my car and i made one nice table ....

Just called the shop I ordered the buffer from. It's been two weeks since I ordered it so I figured it had to be in by now. I was just informed that the buffers are backordered - until March 22nd!! ARRRGGHH!!!!

I know this kinda goes against the forum rules, but anyone know where I can lay my hands on a Jet JSB-10H buffing machine? All the local shops don't have any in stock and I don't feel like dropping $350 on a Baldor with less power than the Jet unit...

I'm going to go cry into my dinner...

buy caswells 2 hp wired for 220 volts seems like a fine deal to me

I'd be more than happy to - if you put up the other $150 it'll cost me. (Not to mention what shipping would run on that thing)

I found a local shop that has 2 of the Jet buffers in stock. Unfortunately, they can't tell me if they're the 3450 RPM units or the 1725 RPM units. Looks like I'm taking a drive to find out.
