Members theleatherguy Posted September 23, 2018 Members Report Posted September 23, 2018 5 hours ago, BDAZ said: I already owned the burnisher which I was using in my drill press but I would have purchased this one: http://proedgeburnishers.com/motor-burnishers.html Same guy makes it and has the adapter for the buffer built in. 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

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? Quote
Members Stingray702 Posted September 22, 2019 Members Report 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.
