Members plinkercases Posted July 1, 2018 Members Report Posted July 1, 2018 I have a clutch motor left over now and am thinking about using it to drive a home made burnishing and or buffing set up but would like to know the preferred speeds for both operations on leather edges and finishes. Burnishing: From what I have searched and read here and on the web is the machine rpm can range from 2000-3750. I have found calculation for the actual speed at the surface of the burnishing tool. So... what is the most recommended speed/rpm (or range) for the machine and/or the burnisher surface? Buffing: Research is resulting in info on metal polishing or just stock shoe shining machines... so what is the ideal rpm (range) for the machine and/or buffing wheel/pad surface for leather products and finishes? Thanks in advance Murray Quote "Oh my God....I beseech thee grant me the grace to remain in Thy Presence; and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my affections" Brother Lawrence c.1614-1691 plinkercases.ca
