Default Buffing System

Hi Jimbo,
I tried to send you my solution, which is a bit lengthy, but your e-mail
didn't work. Explain how I can reach you, and I'll send a description and
scan a picture.

Hi All,

I recently bought the Beall 3 part buffing system as a few of you have
recommended here. Works great! I love the results.

The only thing I don't like is having to change the wheels each time.

I have seen a picture on somebody's web site that I cant remember
where but it showed all 3 wheels on one spindle powered on the lathe.

I tried a long piece of threaded rod but does not provide enough
support and it was (way) too wobbly in the middle.

Would 3 pieces of 1 in. diameter aluminum rod with the ends threaded
with a 3/8-16 (to hold the buffing pad) and screwed together be
sufficient to hold all 3 wheels?

Or I am open to other suggestions too!

Thanks,

Jim
