Hello fellow pen turners I need some help. I used a buffing wheel system for the first time today and I am not happy with the results. I put it together like the instructions said. I mounted it to my lathe and spun it up to 3000 RPM's and I placed the appropriate wax/polisher on it. Experimenting with this system I polished the top part of the pen with Triple E friction polish and then ran the whole pen and a pendent through all 3 buffing wheels. I think the results are horrible. Giving that this is my first time using this system I am going to chalk it up to operator error. A few questions that I have are:
Does the buffing system replace the need to use friction polish?
What is the approximate speed that I need to run it?
Are there any in-depth you tube videos on this system?
Any help would be grateful.
