Thread: What size buffer wheels

I buff on top, bottom and anywhere in between, on the side of the wheel facing me, where I find it comfortable for the blade at hand. For me the important factor in buffing is pressure, and where it is applied. As little pressure as possible will assure less chance for the wheel to grab the blade and spin it, and also longer time to generate heat in the steel. Smaller wheels, which spin slower are less prone to blade grabbing.
