Thread: Is it possible to use this grinder as a buffer?

Hey! I've found such old bench grinder in my basement
It wasn't used too much, my father bought it in some unexplainable GAS rush, somewhat like 13 years ago

Wheels are 5", 2800-3400 RPM (but it hasn't any speed knob, only on-off switch).



Is it possible to use this grinder as a buffer, after removing covers and mounting buffing wheels with greaseless compound to restore "eBay razors"? In a way similiar to Undream, in his restoration video series?
Wouldn't it be too fast for buffing razors?
I'm very "safety first" guy and I'm concerned about small space for manovouring razor. What do you think guys?

I also own such Bosch PBS 75A belt sander with built-in vacuum and filter (it sucks very well):



Both of these tools can be easely mounted to my special workbench.

Is it worth buying buffing wheels for that bench grinder, if my goal is to restore stained razors, or should I first buy a real buffer?
