Anyway, I'll take a drive. There is a second hand tool store down the road too. I'll stop in there first. Thanks for the replies.

No you can find nearly any size you want on Ebay

Cotton, Felt, even Foam.. You want the 1/2 inch - 1 inch wides to reduce the lines from Buffing this is another issue for small Dremel sized tools, you really have to keep that wheel moving to avoid the spotting.. More moving more chance of bad things happening

And you need the clearance to keep from hitting the motor, 4 inch will work just fine. On real hollow ground, holding the razor at an angle about 45 degrees, gets the deepest part of the hollow.

Even if you use a fast buffer, buffing barehanded, you will know when it starts to get hot. Quench in a cutoff plastic water bottle, at the slightest heat.
