Hi was wondering i am polishing aluminum fork sliders and i am using a electric drill and i am finding its not fastest enough to do a good job.My bud has an adapter that will go on a electric angle grinder and i am wondering if it will be to fast to use for buffing and will it burn the aluminum?I saw some guys say you can use it but be careful other guys say no?Will it work with a polish wheel?Thanks

Some people swear by them. All I'll say is, keep the buffing wheels small and make sure they're rated for the rpms.
