Bench grinders vs. Buffers

Depending on your buffing jobs, you might also look for super-cheap
(used will generally get you more for the money) wood lathes, which can
be set up with a long arbor between centers and multiple buffs. Rather
than multiple buffing machines or changing wheels, IF the parts can be
worked without needing a free face to the wheel, you can load up 3-5
buffing wheels and move from one to the next with no time for setup,
other than cleaning the part.
A friend showed my his similar setup using a garage sale vari-speed
wood lathe.
He had various arbors made for all his wheels - grinding, buffing, and
wire.
It was a very slick setup and one I intend to duplicate.
