adapted a round Tandy slicker

[esantoro]

Have any of you ever adapted a round Tandy slicker to be used in a drill and how did you go about doing it?

Thanks,

Ed

I used a 1/4" bolt, head and washer on one side and washer and nut on the other, with enough bolt left over to fit in the chuck on my drill.

I'll have to have a look at that.

My husband is toying with modifying a bench grinder he doesn't use so he can mount and edge slicker for me.

you can use a buffer motor but you need to slow it dow2n so you do not burn the leather. they have a rheostat that can do the and it letys you control the rpm so you will not go to fast. as for using the Tandy poly burnisher I use a 1/4 " bolt and nut and chuck it up to my drill and use it sometimes
