Default Re: What Speed To Use

Gary,
I sometimes use a die grinder at those kind of speeds with a little 2 inch buff, but a full size grinder at 10,000 is way too fast. With a six inch buff you'd want something turning in the neighborhood of 3500.

Look for a cheap polisher/sander in a pawn shop or on e bay.

Richard
