Thanks folks. I'm not trying to thread jack and my apologies to the OP. I'm on a budget and my original thought on reading the thread was to give it a go. After thinking more about it I decided to look for a variable speed machine. I am in the process of reading through the numerous and awesome threads in the workshop section. I read where someone stated, "Do your homework" and then go shopping so you don't waste money." So my quest at the moment is to find a grinder/polisher to work an estate razor through the restoration process.
Any suggestions would be great.
Again, my apologies to the OP. I didn't mean to hijack your thread.
On the bright side. I managed to buy a used drill-press and band saw on Kijiji and saved a couple of hundred bucks in the process.
