LeatherCaptain Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Hello again, Does anyone use a leather finishing/polishing machine? I've been on the lookout lately for ways to speed things up and thought a polishing machine might be one of those ways. I've seen the cheapo sharper image shoe buffing machines with the red and black cones that look like their made out of cat hair. And, then there are the $2K industrial finishing machines. Pilgrim seems to make quality stuff but even their machines are a bit pricey ($775 for the "home model"). I'm thinking that maybe building my own might be the best route. I could add a polishing brush to one end of the shaft and maybe a burnishing dohicky to the other side. I'm just no machinist so it's going to take some thought. I doubt there are any easy ways to build something like that. So, does anyone use a purchased machine to buff/polish/finish or have you built your own? Thanks!
