What size buff wheels do you use?
What buff machine/arbor do you use?
What is your favorite color?

I use a caswell 3/4 HP 1100 rpm buffing machine.

I use wheels from 12" to 16" depending on the finish.

Woody, what specific type of wheels are you using, and where are you getting them from?
Thanks

I use these 12" wheels from Caswell for Varnish, or Lacquer

I use these 17" (I said 16" in my original post) wheels from Grizzly for catalyzed Urethane. I had a local machine shop make the bigger center holes fit my buffer.

I use menzerna yellow and tan, after sanding to 1200 grit.

I haven't done alot of experimenting with wheels, or compounds though.
