Chef niloc Report post Posted Friday at 10:44 AM Hii i want to make a bench burnisher like the cobra MP one out of a bench buffer. I found a sight ( thanks to a search here) that has the grooved wooden attachment, but does anyone know what the correct attachment ( and possibly where to get ) to fit the sanding drums to the other side? Looks like one would need a rubber drum or contact wheel of some sorts with a half-inch arbor hole? But I could be completely wrong Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomE Report post Posted Friday at 11:08 AM (edited) McMaster-Carr has sanding drums and sleeves. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/sanding-drums/ One thing I like about the Cobra burnisher is the ability to adjust the speed. Need to control friction-heat to get a good result. The right amount of water and saddle soap on the edge is important, and I run the burnisher at about half speed. I usually finish the edge by hand with canvas and a burnishing gum or solution. Also, the wooden burnisher on the MP has that wide flat section that I use often for multiple layers of leather straps.

Chef niloc Report post Posted Friday at 06:42 PM Thanks Tom didn’t think about the variable speed aspect as I currently is a drill press which has variable speed the extra buffer I have laying around doesn’t. By the time you buy the attachments looks the the cobra is running about $300 or so more to have a dedicated machine certainly works considering Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
