Thread: Is a polisher worth it?

I happen to have two Baldors, a 3k+ rpm for tattoo machine frames, and a 1700 for tobacco pipes. I was talking to a knowledgeable restorer in '08 who told me the sanding is necessary before you get to the buffing. .......... He said he did 10 hours on an average blade. Not sure if that is the case with everyone, or with anyone else ?

I have no experience with it, cause I hate sanding too !
