My Mother-in-Law gave me this Penn State Pro buffer as a Christmas gift. It was a great thought as she has watched me stop turning, pop out the Beall Chuck, pop in the buffing mandrel, then undo the process. This is very time consuming and I don't have room for another lathe.
This little machine seemed like a perfect solution as it takes up very little space. THE PROBLEM is that I can't make the buffing wheels STAY on the stepped mandrels. The other problem is that it turns 7000 rpms great, not very good at 2000 rpms.
The closest I come to actually being able to use this $80 TURD is to attach zip ties around outside of the pad.
Anyone else used this slug? I've had this since Christmas and haven't been able to buff a single pen.
