shop tip
When you are using the buffing wheel to polish parts you only use the bottom part of the wheel never polish above the center line on the top of the wheel.That way parts dont go flying and you have way more control. A wire wheel is the easiest way to remove heavy rust from steel too .then buff.There are many grades of polishing compound.The course will grind away the metal FAST dont use on aluminum and the finer ones put on different levels of shine but still remove a microscopic bit of metal. Jewelers rouge is for polishing silver and gold and wont remove metal.Change wheels for different grades of compound.If you polish plastics or softer material you must use a slower spinning buffer.The high speed buffer will melt it
