Another benefit to having this buffer is using the buffing wheel for polishing edges after sharpening. Bob Thanks BDAZ! I'll contact proedgeburnishers. I have the same polisher from harbor freight. Thanks for your help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your can also buy the burnisher and/or the sanding drum separately if you have an old bench grinder laying around (which is what I did) that way I got a really nice burnisher for about £100 I visited the people at Just Wood and they were great, very helpful and friendly. A basic 150W cheap bench grinder set up with the burnishing drum is plenty powerful enough for most uses. Mine started to get a bit warm after an hour or so but wasn't that bad. I've seen one of the Tandy ones and TBH it really isn't as good. even with variable speed. KittenThrasher - how did you attach the burnisher to your old bench grinder?

Stingray702 Report post Posted September 22, 2019 Hello everyone, New to the site, and this is my first post. I want to make one of the burnishing machines. So if I go to Home Depot and buy a grinder, are the two components (the sander, and the the burnishing wheel) easy to install? And what would you recommend as far as purchasing these components.
