    Thumbs up A nice buffing set

    Gents,

    I happen to own a nice entry-level drill press (Ryobi DP101) and figured I might use it with some buffing wheels and compounds to spruce up some razors. I found a great tool assortment: the Ryobi eight-piece mini buffing kit, available at Home Depot. Made in the USA, even. It comes with two white rouge compound sticks, one emery compound stick, one tripoli compound stick, one 2.25" cotton buffing wheel, one 3" cotton buffing wheel, one 4" cotton buffing wheel, and a 1/4" mandrel assembly. This kit can even be used on a hand-held drill. These wheels are rated to 4000 RPM, which is fine -- the drill press can go to more than 3000, so no worries. Should be fun!

    Can they be used on a rotary tool? If not, is there anything readily available at Home Depot that can be? I just ordered a lot of 3 oldies (Walker/Boker/W&B) that will need a lot of polishing (on top of some additional work).

    Edit: And if I'm using sanding wheels, what grits should I be using? (Btw. that magnetic jig of yours is a great idea Bill... I have a 12" speaker that I am not using and I may just use an iron plate instead of wood)
