All that tells us is it's a pretty small motor.
You need to look at the horsepower.
To push a 12" wheel, you'll need a 2hp - 19 amp 3500rpm machine.--

i can assure you it wont polish anything even with an 8" wheel---been there done that,find you a real buffer if your gonna be a serious metal polisher.

You're using 10 inch wheels on a 2 amp motor? Yes, it will spin them, but it wont have ANY power. As as soon as you attempt to put any pressure it will bog the grinder down. Being able to "lay into" the buffer is what gives you speed in polishing and from what i have experienced, much better results.

i dont think so, i buffed hard enough to bring a shine, just can't get the haze out or the scratches. i've been told to go bigger, that is why i'm thinking of the 12 inch loose cotton. i dont have 300 bux for a grinder. or buffer. if someone can link me to ebay w/ a good used one or new one, i'd appriciate it.

there is no possible way your going to be able to use this machine with a 10" or 12" wheel . when you use the 8" with no problems as you say---the grinder has to bog down if you press into the wheel with the item your buffing right??
