epiphanist1248 Report post Posted October 23, 2019 Like the title says. Every project, every finish, always ends with "buff it to a shine." I remember something about people using a Dremel to buff, which would be great if I could find my old Dremel, but I wondered too if I could use something like this to get a good shine or if it would just tear off the finish. (People use them to shine up vintage Mustangs so it can't be that rough, can it?) There are terry cloth and fleece bonnets, and probably others. Thoughts? Comments? Success and/or horror stories?

arashikage Report post Posted October 23, 2019 You will just have to be careful that you don't over do it. The one you link to says it operates at 3500 RPM. If you use something other than fleece, that is fast enough to burn the leather and actually ruin the finish you're working on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizard of tragacanth Report post Posted October 23, 2019 Really? This is a task for which I have never even considered using power tools. I actually enjoy hand buffing and watching the luster appear as I do it. However, I only make holsters, which would not easily be done with such a machine. That aside, this is a random orbit machine, which is a good thing and using a fleece would be a necessity. If you are doing large, relatively flat pieces, this might be helpful. Let us know how it works out! nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
