Polishing in General

When my old buffer failed I bought this Jet variable speed buffer for my dedicated buffing room. Best investment I have made. Has a slow enough speed to polish plastic if needed. 

 

This is another reason (aside from my weak polisher) as to why I spend the time sanding first - a dedicated buffing room is a dream given the mess generated by polishing. I have one 19x10 space for fab, prep, machining, final assembly etc so reducing buffing time and the associated mess is a consideration for me (love your set-up )

My selection of antiquated bench sharpener/polisher motors. As mentioned, spitting crap everywhere. I just cart that bigger one out to a gravel patch in the side yard and contaminate the outdoors.     One 1/4 other 3/4. I don't have (jet)afterburners or SCR's for motor control Crazy, just that simple SPST switch, ha. Hopefully You're doing OK Cra-z1..haven't heard from you in a while. 

Doing great now that it's riding season. Busy getting all the bikes ready to ride. Just took one of the 75 z1's out today after some valve checks and carb tuning.

 

Looking Sharp Cra-Z1!! Seems Your workstation resembles mine, every flat spot has something on it, ha. I can clean the 60sq ft area up but within a month it seems i find myself confined/cramped to 10percent of that of actual usable space.
