Default Beall Buffing System Question

From what I've seen, they've got the buffs, an arbor for changing a motor
into a buffer, and most anything else needed. After doing the math it looks
like I could build the same thing as the Beall System for around $35-40.

8" Flannel buff - $4.49
8"Cotton Flannel-3.59
8"Cotton Buff -5.99
5/8" Shaft Adapter - 7.99
Approx. Total -22.00

Buffing Compounds from Woodcraft - 5.99 each
Total 40.00

Did I miss anything?

Do the wheels come with the bolt and things in them?

Personally, I wouldn't re-invent the wheel to save $30..
Beall is the expert here and I'd want their wheels, for one thing..

My wife bought me the POS buffing system from Penn State Ind. and it sucked so
bad that I had given up on buffing until my mentor talked me into trying the
Beall..
The wheels were tiny and cheap, their wax was really poor quality and the motor
that came with it was an absolute joke..
