http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/wood_pol.html I am going to order this. I'll let you know what I think. Caswell also sells arbor shaft extender kits for $11 per side. Extends each arbor by 6 1/2". Dave |

I have it and the machine is good. But I think the buffs are not what works, cause as is I cab't polish nuttin even with the Menzerna compounds. But that's the wheels, not the machine. Others use it successfully. Good to know of the arbor extenders. |

Thanks Dave. I've thought about that machine. Didn't know about the longer shafts. Grizzly buffs are doing fine for me. The softest, which I think is domet. [edit] I found the shaft extenders. Not as heavy duty looking as I thought; I had hope you could just get a longer 3/4" shaft on the machine. The big buffs have larger than 1/2" holes and will need adaptors. Not a huge deal, but the ones I made (for the ShopFox) have a way of working loose. |

I use the grizzly shop fox buffing set up with 1/4 hp. This is plenty of power . |

That's the buffing machine I use. I didn't buy the kit, just the buffer. I use buffing wheels from Grizzly. The shafts seem long enough to me, but I'm used to them. |
