Beginner questions buffing.
I hope I have come to the right NG as I saw many threads about buffing
here. I just want to learn to buff small metal articles like stainless steel watch bands, spoons etc. I bought a 1/6 hp motor with flex shaft, white and green rouge, and some small buffing wheels. These are my problems so far: 1: Do I need to change the "angle of attack", or just always apply the wheel to the work piece in one same direction? It seems that once I change the angle, the lust disappears somewhat. 2. For the finer buffing , I used a cloth wheel(just sewn once near the middle). One the wheel revs up, the cloth thread begins to fly out( because of the anti centrifugal force ) so there is lint all over the place and the wheel gets smaller and smaller. Even worse when I apply the wheel to the rouge. Is the normal for this kind of wheels? Should I just tolerate the lint? 3. It seems that the finer the rouge, the slower RPM should be used? Correct? Any help appreciated ABC |
