[QUOTE="Nick, post: 20054, member: 255"] Using a bench grinder motor is a bad idea for polishing a pipe. Most bench grinder motors run at 3600 rpms or somthing thereabouts. This is too fast for buffing and polishing. It will burn the wax off your pipe rather than putting it on. And could potentially result in scorches. What you want is a speed around 1700 rpms. Baldor makes good motors. There are plenty put there. Just make sure you get the right speed. [/QUOTE]
