Hi Rocknroller,Yes, I’m still up as well!! (It’s a holiday long weekend, I have no school tomorrow!) I think this is a matter of personal preference and practice. With the wheel spinning down in front...

@boo @darrenking Having another look at the video and maybe I’m missing something but I’ve always done polishing with the wheel running away from me as when it running towards you it tends to pull the...

It is ridiculously quiet! Stupidly so! That’s servo motors for you. Darren

Going by the other occasional sounds I could hear, it didn't seem you turned the volume down notably. Is it as quiet as it seems?

Nice work @boo, so far I like The Chuffer!

Looks like a good test run

If there was a spindle lock somewhere on box Top work Boo! The shaft lock is a tricky one, not impossible, but very far from simple and the opposite of cheap! As soon as I start trying to customise s...

what might be good ... when you do the other stuff tomorrow, could you take some “before” pics, and show them next to the “after” pics, hopefully in lighting conditions that are consistent-ish. @tv10...

Shiny, shiny! what might be good ... when you do the other stuff tomorrow, could you take some “before” pics, and show them next to the “after” pics, hopefully in lighting conditions that are consiste...

Shiny shiny! ✨✨✨✨✨✨ I ran out of sunlight today to show off this shine properly, maybe tomorrow. ☀️ Tomorrow I will buff a guitar, maybe the ch...

One thing I’ve noticed about changing the buffing mops is it’s a bit tricky to hold the steel shaft with one hand and try not to drop the mop on the floor as you are spinning it to take it off. You wi...

2nd compound test. I changed the buffing mop over to the softer one and changed the compound for the finer one. It’s come up very shiny indeed. Attachment : D946D67A-1457-47F7-8341-37B3B44333EB.j...

1st compound test.

I painted a metal water bottle in metal flake and candy paints a few weeks ago and had flattened the paint by sanding through the grades to P3000 grade, it just needed buffing up to a high sheen. So I...

I stalling the buffing wheels/mops. There is a steel rod that goes into a hole in the steel shaft, this is to hold everything whilst you put one of the buffing heads/mops on and use washers, spacers a...

As you would imaging, when the lever is at the bottom, it is off, there is no rotation. As you raise the lever, the rotational speed increases. When the lever is all the way to the top, it’s on max sp...

Commission testing the machine before using. I plugged it in, turned it on and it worked. I played around with the speed with no problems, it works straight out of the box. Attachment : E2B8319A-...

Anchoring the machine to the corner of my work bench with screws and clamps.

It is highly advisable to anchor the machine to something solid, such as a sturdy work bench. There are a couple of options to do this, clamp it down or screw it down, access points have been made ava...

Installing the steel shaft. I couldn’t video this bit, I don’t have a head cam. 🤣 This video is after the fact but with an explanation of what I did.
