Before I start, I need to mention that this project deals with simple circuitry/wiring of a DC motor. Don't do this if you don't know how or understand the risks involved. With that said I made a burnisher for free! My neibor gave me two electric scooters that 'dont hold a charge' Soo, I gutted one. After taking it apart I realized that the motor for these scooters is a good little motor. It's a 24v permanent magnet motor that has a rated rpm of 2500-3000 with no load on the motor and ton of torque. Unfortunately the batteries were not good so no power for the motor.. or so I thought Wheels get to spinnin' and I realized I had a power supply to an old laptop... The charger outputs a 19v 4.78A dc current. I cut the end of the laptop charger off and wired it to the on off switch I salvaged from the scooter. Then wired the switch to the motor and viola! Burnisher motor with switch. I also recommend covering the connections with electrical tape or wire nuts or shrink wrap. In my case, I used hot glue, because it's what I had... Don't judge me! Hehe The motor works just fine. It's rated for 24v DC and at 19v (from the laptop charger) it runs fast enough for my needs. The actual burnisher is attached to the shaft by smashing a nut into a slightly small round hole. In the photos I repurposed a wooden drawer knob. I used a simple chisel to add another groove and also evened out the groove that was already there. So it has 2 grooves. All that's left is mounting it to something I can clamp down to the table. While it isn't the best thing in the world, it does work. It takes up minimal space, and is very light weight too. All in all, I'm happy with it. I'm posting this because I know people like me can't afford much. And sometimes you gotta make due. You don't need super fancy mega spinomatic 9000 burnisher models out there to get the job done (although if I could buy one I would) I hope this helps people out. Just remember to do your research and be careful with the wiring/soldering. I don't want people getting hurt or fried out there. The last picture is a burnish sample. It was done with just water and a little saddle soap and dried. No dye or wax or anything. It was a quick test so it isn't the best, just to show it works. Cheers and happy making!
