POWERTEC Bench Buffer Buffing Machine 8" Slow Speed Bench Grinder, Jewelry Buffer Polisher Machine, Includes 4PCs 80Ply Buffing Wheels | Long Shaft Benchtop Buffers Polishing Silver, Jewelry - BF800C

OK, so I am happy with the quality, the smooth and quiet operation and it comes with a hard and soft buffing wheel. I purchased to buff stainless steel bolts on hunting rifles. I am pretty sure this is the same unit HF sells with about the same reviews. Well, went to buff my bolt and the wheel choaked down and almost stopped. Tried again, the same issue. I was really disappointed. Then I got an idea! I removed the wheel I was not using (soft wheel), the spacer, the two-disc, and the nut from the other side. Voila! Wow! What a difference. It screams! I had to hold my parts very tightly or they would be forced out of my hand. It was like a different buffer. Feels strong and capable of anything now, but still small and quiet and affordable. If you try this on yours, post an update. Mine went from night today and I just love it now. Try my trick on yours.

I was a little hesitant at first about this buffer. I've used more expensive buffers before (Caswell), but this one was a pleasant surprise. Most of my work is on small parts, so a 6" 0.5 HP buffer fit the bill. Out of the box this buffer hummed. Smooth, no wobbles or shakes. It even included two wheels! As others have stated, it is heavy enough with a large enough footprint that you could get away without fixing it to a table/stand. If you're working on larger parts, step up to an 8" 1 HP buffer. Otherwise, this is a great buy!

WORKS GOOD FOR MY KNIFE SHARPENING BUSINESS

The buffer itself works well. Use some practice pieces and make sure you pick up polishing compound because it's not included. You do need to bolt it down a bit, mine travels on my work bench. The stock buffers shed a LOT at first, before settling down after a few polishing sessions. Still sheds now and then but I should get a few more sessions out of it before I move onto an additional set I purchased (wider). Overall, fits my budget and gets the job done.

Great buffing machine. Powerful and gets the job done. I would buy again.

Got it 2 days after purchase and package was in perfect shape. Came with all the spacers and flanges and 2 buffs. A hard buff and a soft buff. The buffer is very robust and durable. Very quiet and has very little vibration to it. If you just put something weighted behind this thing you don’t even have to bolt it down but it has holes predrilled so you can do so. I love this thing. Very nice machine for the price.

I picked this up for the sole purpose of using a leather wheel for knife sharpening. For knife sharpening you want your wheel to rotate away from you which is the opposite rotation of how this comes. You could just turn it around but then the power switch would be in the back. An easy fix for this is to take the base off and rotate it so your power switch will be in the front and the wheel will rotate away from the user. Take the four screws off the bottom cover plate and also take the capacitor bracket off and two additional screws that hold the motor to the base, rotate the base then put the two motor screws back and a capacitor bracket and the four bottom screws that hold the cover plate and you're done. I found that it runs very smooth and is excellent for knife sharpening and for the price it is an excellent Buy. I would definitely recommend.

Needed a buffer to polish up old toy parts that the Dremel was just too small for. Chose this buffer and it came well packed with plastic over the shaft ends that had the nuts on them. There was a sealed packet with the spacers and cups. Very nice heavy unit. Attached the buffer wheel and polisher wheel. Spun right up, fairly quiet, with four rubber feet. I was very pleased that it stayed put and didn’t try to walk over the work bench. I already had the buffing material blocks. So I primed up the buffing wheel and got to work. Grey old tin pieces were up to a high luster in a short time. Be sure to choose the correct buffing and polishing material for your job. Red is jewelers ruge and is for use on softer metals like gold, silver, and copper. Green is used on steel, tin and iron.

Did as advertised

This product works perfectly and is not dangerous to use I recommend buying the product 100%

PUES CONSIDERO QUE PARA EL COSTO ESTA MUY BIEN SUS REVOCIONES SON MUY RAPIDAS LO QUE DIFERENCIA DE MAQUINAS MAS PEQUEÑAS,, ACLARO A PESAR DE QUE LOS REDILLOS SON DE TELA,, HAY QUE TENER CUIDADO CON ALGUNOS PRODUCTOS PUES SI PUEDE LLEGAR A LASTIMAR EL PRODUCTO FINAL,,,, POR LO DEMAS CREO QUE SI ESTA MUY BUENA TARDE BUEN RATO TRABAJANDO PERO NO HAY QUE FORZARLO TANTO

It's a little work-horse! For its size it's an excellent machine... It buffs to a mirror finish on all steels and aluminum! It has never over heated and works all day....I'm from canada where the temperature rarely reaches 100. There is some vibration but that is the wheels themselves...its easy on the hands. It does need a longer spindle or extension as a piece larger than 8 inches and curved may be difficult to move around it. If your only doing smaller objects it will serve you well...I'm doing up a sportster and its polishing it well. I would buy a larger machine if I was doing more bikes..especially big harleys etc! It will get the job done no matter what the size...is it worth the money...YES!

Funciona muy bien. Buen precio, excelente compra
