One concern is that the drill press would mount the buffs horizontally rather than vertically, but I dont think that should make a whole lotta difference. Its just a different direction, really. I know that some use lathes, handheld drills, and even old motors with extended shafts as buffers, so IMO this should not be a whole lot different.
I know that there is no better solution than a good bench buffer, but as a temporary means, I think it should suffice.
Suggestions/Comments?
