[QUOTE="bosun1, post: 329275, member: 2766"] Something around 1725 RPM. 1/3 HP, maybe 1/2 HP. Either wire a switch directly onto the motor or put one in-line on an extension cord so you don't have to do too much stretching. I use individual arbors for my buffing pads (Pimo.com). I use six inch pads. Motor shafts can be either 1/2" or 5/8" . I use a 1/2" keyless drill chuck.

I'm sure you can think of other things to put in the drill chuck - like sanding pads (g). You'll pay a little more to get going because you have to have seperate arbors if you do it this way but it is worth it in saving time.
