Houdini Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I'm thinking about using my lathe as a buffing machine and was wondering if anyone here has tried it and had good results. I'm trying to figure out if there are attachments available for a reasonable price (the ones I've seen are $90 for that I might as well just by a buffer)or if there is a good way to make my own. I couldn't find any thing using the search function about this, so I thought I would start a new topic. Maybe someone will have a revelation and come up with some good ideas. On another note, how would you compare buffing with a buffing wheel to a random orbital sander buffing pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 It should be easy enough to rig up, but the problem I see is not being able to hold the guitar low enough to catch the wheel right. The lathe would be in the way, or at least close enough to knock into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringkilla Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Does your lathe have an outboard spindle attatchment?? If it does extend the arbor some to get some space between the buffer wheel and the headstock and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
