    Default buffing machine with less dirt, possible ?

    Hi folks,

    i'm looking for advices to use buffing machine at home with less dust and dirts. today i made a test, about 30 minutes of work but just after i spent 3 hours to clean home. there was dust and paste dirts everywhere (even after cleaned, i continue to find some dust under table, back of the couch ... ). i took a carton box to cover it for next time, but i will appreciate if you have any advice (even pictures) to make it better ..

    thanks guys

    DONT BUFF IN YOUR HOME, its meant for basements , garages or out doors. now if you must, set up a shop vac system and build plastic sheet walls around your buffer, maybe even ventilation to the outdoors, but buffing is a shop type of work, not really meant for your place of living Tc

    That is they only real way of doing it, with a vacuum system. I have 4" lines coming through my bench and exhausting directly outside. I use my wood waste in the garden so I don't want my buffer waste mixed into it so it is on a separate system. I got some small fenders for 12" tires from Princess Auto and set them as a guard/ air and dust deflector. The other thing is that if you are not using air and dust controls you really need to always wear a quality respirator. Doing both never hurts either but at a minimum you should employ at least one system of air quality control. If you cannot use a vacuum system for air control then you are stuck with controlling your dust by keeping it in areas you don't mind being full of dust, fluff, and grit.

    I would suggest that you work by hand with wet dry abrasives and a good polish like Maas or a headlight polish. I did a few restores that way and the time difference was not that great. O have toys now but am down sizing so will be back to that soon.

    if you can find a fan from a furnace or something similar it might work to make a sort of hood with a hose to vent out a window. i made something like that for my son to roast coffee with his hot air popper inside the dorm without setting off the smoke detector. i'll see if he can send me a picture so you can see what i mean.

    If you must ignore all the safety advice

    Build a "Buffing Box" / Shroud

    An enclosure that holds the buffer with just enough room for the razor and you hands to fit in the front.

    Your body will block most of the splash coming out the front, then you only have a small area to vacuum up


    This should give you some ideas

    It is currently buried behind a stack of plywood. Pics won't happen for a while.
