Now that I have received my new lathe and the old one is being 'warranty repaired' I am thinking of a lot of ways I can make the best use of 2 lathes. One of my first thoughts is setting up a buffing station. I have noticed 2 different approaches to the buffing station concept on PSI and have some questions. What is the difference between the Acrylic Pen Buffing System using 2 buffing wheels (http://www.pennstateind.com/store/BGBUFF.html) and the 3 Step Lathe Buffing System using 3 buffing wheels (http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LBUFFSYS.html)? I do turn both wood and acrylic pens.
I had, in the past, used William Young's BLO/CA finish on wood pens and was quite pleased. Last winter I began using "Turner's Magic" (due to extreme cold in my shop) which is OK but I am considering going back to the BLO/CA finish as it give a 'shinier' finish and more 'pop' on the grain which is what I want.
I realize that I am probably 'opening a can of worms' here, but, I have found the feedback from IAP members extremely helpful in most of my penturning.
Many Thanks!
