Thread: Grinder = buffer?

I know a thing or two

First thing of importance is Surface speed here is a formula and tons of info in this thread (most grinders are running at 3450 rpm)

The problem as the guys already pointed out can be clearance with the Grinder so you have to use at least a 6 inch wheel maybe even 8 in which at Grinder speeds is getting a pretty fast surface speed...
A true buffer can use 4 inch wheel and even smaller which at even 3450 is a slow enough Surface speed to work out....

So if there is no clearance you need slower speed, and if you have clearance to use smaller wheels you can adjust that way...

One way or another you need to be able to adjust to get the most work out of them...
