Oddly enough I just bought one, with a coupon - $50something from Harbor Freight. Now just waiting on the drum sander and skirt chaser from ProBurnisher to come in.(the drum and burnisher actually cost more than the drill press)

K. Now this might be a stupid question..... Is it possible to just Chuck in the hand slicker/burnisher to a drill press? Shouldn't be to hard to get it in true. Option till you can get or make a "real" one?

I've used the Tandy wood disk slicker with a mandrel bit in my dremel, and it works  .. I've also used the nylon one using a bolt and nut as a shaft in a drill.   They both work, but I like the pro edge burnisher in the dremel best.  I've been very tempted lately by one of these burnishers - the flat bottom with radiused corners just seems to make sense to me.  If I had a drill press and tools to do it, I might just try to make one myself.

I don't recommend it, unless you have one you don't want anymore. No matter how much you try to center it, it will vibrate/chatter. Unless you're talking about the white plastic circle one like from Tandy? That should work.

Well I broke down and got the 8 inch harbor frieght drill press and a sanding drum kit. What is the best speed to run it for burnishing? I have one of the white plastic "slickers"/ pully.lol I put a 4 inch bolt and nuts and washers on it. I'm not worried about getting edges done fast just done well. This is about less pain than speed to me.

if it is for burnishing the edges anything up 1700 rpm is good I wouldn't go much faster than that.

Run it till you hear twistin metal and broken glass....... Ha, my dad says that.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
