Bench grinders vs. Buffers
I am forever looking for a better way to finish small parts. I have
been looking at buffing machines and the first thing that struck me was the price discrepancy between them and comparable size bench grinders. Whereas I can get a 1/3HP bench grinder for $40, a no-name buffing machine of the same power is $105. If one goes up to, say, Baldor, one is lucky to see any change from $300. Why is that? Is it a bearing issue? Why would a $40 bench grinder not be able to do the same job as a more expensive buffer? Michael Koblic, Campbell River, BC |
