BUY, INSTALL and USE a spiral buffing wheel to polish beautiful parts

so we just picked this up at Harbor

Freight for six dollars they had one was

a dollar cheaper they didn't have the

spiral stitching in it it was just an

open piece of cloth so these would move

around a little bit more free and we got

20% off with this and a free magnetic

part string so that's pretty good let's

see if we can go ahead and mount it to

this motor

yeah that's go ahead and loosen up the

bolt that's holding the grinding wheel

on and go ahead and take this off and I

have another wrench on the opposite side

of the axle to keep it from moving now

we can go ahead and slide this off and

put on the buffing wheel you can see on

this like a little bracket here we're

missing a set screw that's holding that

in so it's a little loose so we have a

set screw kit here that we also got from

Harbor Freight it has a bunch of

different sizes of set screws so this is

a quarter 20 so I have a quarter 20 set

screw and I'm gonna go ahead and put

that in the hole tighten that up so it's

more secure now we can go ahead and pull

off the old grinding wheel and then put

on the buffing wheel and then transfer

some of the parts if it didn't come with

this buffing wheel came with some

different attachments so if you take out

the buffing wheel you can see these are

the pads to hold it on so we'll probably

use these to put one on first then you

can add the buffing wheel we're gonna

use the smaller ones because they're

more designed to fit this in just a

really nice tight fit so let's go ahead

and put these on and then tighten it up

now with the wheel centered I'm gonna go

ahead and just tighten it up and then we

can test it out with this tightened up

you can see that it is a little bit

off-center so we're gonna go ahead and

loosen that and see if we can get a

little better now you can see the wheel

as much straighter it's not going up and

down anymore so let's go ahead and test

it out on the part here are the three

grades of polishing grit this one here

is the finest the medium and the most

coarse we're gonna start with the finest

and to put this on your wheel it's

actually kind of mixed in with a wax

so as it heats up it gets applied on the

weak

you're putting this on you really don't

need to put so much on the wheel it just

needs a little bit these lenses have

some minor scratches in them so we're

gonna try to take them out with the

buffer we're gonna go ahead and stop at

the front and the back

for the final buff on these lenses we're

gonna go a little lighter and you can

see these are looking much much clearer

and really see the difference between

these two lenses that buffing wheel did

a great job so really what it is it's

like an anti-glare coating on the lenses

to just get messed up over time

so we're buffing that off and they sure

look a lot better see the buffing wheel

is working a little bit but we need to

just knock off the rough spots with some

[Music]

so you can run the sandpaper on the palm

of your hand and that seems to be

working to take this grit off but you

will see a haze come over that lenses

but that'll come off with a buffing

wheel now underwater we're going to use

the 1200 grit and that a lot of times

sands a little bit better now we have it

all sanded down let's go ahead and buff

it on the wheel and it doesn't matter if

there's water on the lenses that might

actually lubricate it a little bit

anyway

working you can see in some spots the

coding is not fully off so we're just

working it off slowly

you can see with that zone

you can see that these lenses both are

very clean and ready to be put back in

their frames so if you guys found this
