How many people use all three buffing wheels that come with the Beall kit and similiar models?
The reason I ask is I have an old buffing shaft setup that will take two wheels and an old motor for it. I'd rather just use that as a dedicated buffing station versus buying the whole kit and having to take it on and off the lathe everytime I wanted to buff a pen or bowl.
The next question is which two wheels should I go with? The Beall uses linen, linen/cotton mix, and all cotton buffing wheels. I can pick them up from Caswell plating fairly inexpensively, and the wax/tripoli/white diamond is easy to get locally.
