Mounting Landis Brushes on a Buffer With a 3/4" Arbor

[nycnycdesign]

I think alot of us are in the same boat in this respect. No space or $$ for a full on line finisher but maybe able to afford a good bench buffing motor. The problem is that most landis/sutton brushes have a 1 5/16" bore so it wont fit on a 3/4" arbor. 

They also dont seem to make horsehair buffing wheels in any smaller diameters (like 3/4")

Does anyone have any ideas as far as a suitable adapter? Fitting a 1 5/16" brush on a 3/4" arbor?

Machine shops are quoting 300-400 for a milled adapter but that seems way over priced.

In case future leatherworkers have a similar question. 

 

Campbell Randall sells bushing adapters that will let you do exactly this

I would very much like to discuss your setup because I have been wanting to set up my own buffer. I browsed through Campbell's website and couldn't find an adapter. Any help would be appreciated.

Grizzley tools sell some arbor adapters but not sure what size.
