oldgunsmith;
I hate to hear that. Oklahoma has been hit hard this year, and that one chaser who was doing the scientific work was killed, along with his son and another guy. It's terrible.
The Baldor buffers are great, but a new one with lower RPM is expensive. I looked for a used 1 HP model, and those were outrageous on ebay, plus you had to drive to pick them up, or have them freighted in.
In all, I have around $300.00 in this, counting everything. The motor was the most expensive, at $90.00, but the rest was reasonable. The wheel guards are the berries, as I really wanted that on any I purchased. I could have added a vacuum attachment to the bottom of them, though didn't, but might try one. I'm afraid of what that gluey polish will do to a vacuum, when its sucked in.
