Well here's a little to tell about my Homemade Variable speed Buffer. While as I've posted I've played with it a little with non razors and razor scales but today my son and I loaded the 'semi...

Well I'll probably kick myself in the arse for this but how about as Rusty and Crusty as You are :shrug: :roflmao:rofl2: :roflmao :rofl2::roflmao :tu

Thank you my friend, I'm looking forward to meeting the postman BEFORE he or she can walk up to the Boars Nest to receive your wonderful gift It will be a very long day until it arrives and it is on...

I'm wondering why you would 'presume' that the person digging through his stash to find razors to help me with my build would be Wullie. :thinking: Are you presuming that because I used the term...

Update On The Homemade Variable Speed Buffer

While I haven't found any straight razors to play with, I did have a heirloom serving fork that was my uncles/he was a chef in California. Due to...

Hey Steve,

I figured that this question would come up. Unfortunately I didn't think about it until much later please remember that I've been working on this since April 6th on and off as time...

There's a reason that I tell people about this site and one of those reasons is because of the willingness of the members to help other members out! It might be giving words of counsel or sharing...

About the Variable Speed Buffer that I built.

I just got off of the phone with my very good friend Ski and Boy Did I Catch Hell! Well maybe not Hell but a lot of Crap! But He was Right! When I'm...

Done!

Thank you! :bow:

Thanks for the advice Tom, I was wondering about storing the Greaseless under refrigeration well sealed to see if that would extend it's shelf life. Could it also be 'frozen' to further extend the...

325? Tom, I'm not planning on dying anytime soon! There will be many, many, many experiments before I can post any results regarding recommendations. Hell, I still need to figure out how the...

Tom, That's the Beauty of the variable speeds. I can experiment and find what speed works best for a particular application.

As I've said I have been playing and using the 345 RPM worked great...

Mate, No Figure 8's etc. I 'roll' the belt off of the first large pulley (that causes a lot of slack) then roll the belt off of the smaller pulley then re-roll to the next pulleys (that re-tightens...

Here's an update on the variable speed buffer.

I've been playing with it and I believe that I'd slowed things down a bit too much :shrug:

So I removed the 2" driver pulley from the motor and...

Ray, Thank You! Coming from a 4th generation Professional Machinist that is one of the highest compliments I've ever received! I know what a fussy SOB you are (if anyone hasn't seen the details that...

Charlie, Richard,

You have no Idea of how much your Approval and Encouragement means to me. When either of you post, I try to make sure that I read, then re-read what you had to say/or show.

Thanks Matt, I am looking forward to seeing what this Buffer will do!

I can't tell you how many times this build has been assembled, then disassembled then reassembled etc!

My next day off is...

Here's some pictures of the Build. I may make some drop over guards to cover the belts and I have leftover laminate to cover the plywood if I do so.

I've been working on this Variable Speed Buffer Project which I now call 'My Build' for several months now.

I wanted the 'help' that a buffer can provide without the Speed or at least Speed...
