Bring out the bling!,
October 16, 2007
"Man, this buffer is great. The high RPM and good power will have your aluminum, brass, chrome or stainless shimmering in no time. But beware. If you've haven't previously used one of these high speed buffers, be very careful at first. This things can grab your goodies out of your hands, bounce it around the room and beat you with it. So use leather gloves, and goggles. Please, take your time till you get the hang of it. And it wouldn't hurt to have a good backstop!"

nice little tool,
November 17, 2009
By brianm

"I took the buffing wheels off mine and put coarse and fine wire wheels on it for removing the rust that seems to be forever encroaching on my tools. I get lots of condensation on my tools here in NH from the huge temperature swings we get, which leaves tools looking like someone sprayed water on them, which then turns to rust. So, I got this buffer to use as a dedicated rust remover. I've had it about a year now, and I unfortunately have to use it often. It works just fine, even in a sub-zero garage. No issues. Plenty of torque. Very good price. Can't beat it."

"I purchased this buffer to polish some aluminum motorcycle parts! This machine has the power necessary to really put some pressure on the part without slowing down the motor. The price is also affordable."

Buffer works well,
July 13, 2009
"This buffer works as advertised. It has sufficient power and speed to easily polish aluminum, steel and stainless. The unit is quiet and the buffing wheels that come with it are good. One improvement could be to include a 4 inch wheel on one end for those harder to polish pieces."

From grungy to glowing!,
January 26, 2009
"I have a weird hobby -- restoring old vacuum cleaners, especially old cast aluminum uprights. This buffer is The Perfect Tool for doing this, and I would imagine a lot of other jobs! The motor is powerful enough that you can lean into the work a bit when you need to, and for me the speed is just right. Yet it is quiet too!
Priced like this, don't waste your time rigging up your bench grinder to be a buffer -- just add this machine to your bench and make your life a lot easier. You've probably spent more on a tank of gas.
In less than an hour, I took a cast-aluminum housing from totally grungy to a mirror finish. No exaggeration! Like Richardo said above, this machine will have you thinking about going into the polishing business!"

Benchtop buffer,
August 18, 2008
"A truly remarkable tool. The speed is perfect for all polishing that I have done. The wheels are far enough away from the motor that there is plenty of room to polish fairly large items. This buffer sits on rubber feet and is heavy enough that it does not slide during use. I have been polishing copper pots and the shine is unbelievable. I might go onto the polishing business!"

"My Northern Industrial Benchtop Buffer has given a new glow to my passion - - the repair and resoration of antique clocks.
I was able to begin using right out of the box. No fuss or muss. I has the hp and torque to make even the dingiest metal gleam.
I would highly recommend it."
