[QUOTE="CygnusXII, post: 207580, member: 2375"] Additionally, I do not run the buffer at full speed, because it is just way to dang fast. It has a rotating variable speed knob, like potentiometer, I think. At full speed it whizzes like a dremel going full blast, and is just to hard a surface to work with. I like it a lot slower so I can use the wheel in a more loose fashion, and get in the cracks and crevices. Eight inch wheels would probably be to big for it to handle, and I think it only has Mandrels up to 1/2 inch at their largest, and most larger cloth wheels start at 1/2 inch at least, so they would be right up against the butt of the mandrel face, so I might be limited in that respect. But "hey" you learn as you go, and I can always buy a bigger one and use this one for other smaller projects, or get a flexishaft style adapter and use it with my dremel tools and bits. [/QUOTE]
