Works like a champ, you can use both the platen and contact
wheel w/o swapping anything, belt tension and tracking are adjustable.

HF buffer: $50 (or 0 if you have a sufficiently power grinder/buffer
already) , assorted HW: $60 (less if you got a junk yard
nearby and/or some alum/HRS in junk box).


Please note that first few pics I didn't rotate as I should've - so
use your favorite viewer to do that: 90 CW. Or tilt your head.
