Car Buffer/Polisher

[kmk]

I never owned or used orbital buffer/polisher before. I was wondering whether I can use it to buff granite counter top, furniture etc?

They are not very powerful as a rule. You should be fine.

I have an old Craftsman that I use to buff the Johnsons paste wax in my iron table tops.

[MilDoc]

Sure. I do the same with my 10 year old Craftsman. Just keep it moving.

[Workman]

Yes, I use mine to buff wax coat on antique furniture - just be sure you don't have any hard buildup of anything (wax, etc) on the pad.

Awesome! Now I have 4 people to back me up when I tell wifey that auto buffer can be used to buff & polish the granite counter top!

Portable Cable 7424 might be the one I want. It is expensive ($99 plus shipping) compared to craftsman however it is very popular among car detailer and excellent reviews.

The 'home' version is $310 for the polisher wit no pads! (I found one in a pawn shop on the clearance table for $10!) Still don't have the pads for it.

I smell a 'stealth gloat' (YOU SUCK BTW )

now on topic:

I have a 10" and it's been entirely too big to try on most of my projects, but I've been thinkin' about getting a 6" for exactly this reason. They go roundy round but with an orbital action, no reason they won't work if it fits the need. I use a 6" pneumatic automotive ROS from time to time on wood ... it's designed for automotive finishing but does a FINE job on anything.

If the tool fits,, WEAR IT!
