I finally decided to try my PSI buffing wheel a short time back. I bought it last year, when I had JUST began turning, and never could get a good finish with it, so I set it aside.
I have learned a lot over the past year; one of the things I have learned is that when you cannot get something to work properly, check your technique, and then check the mechanics of the tool...
Turns out - and I have no idea how I missed this before - the buffing wheel is WAY out of true. In fact, it is downright ridiculously crooked. When I put it in the lathe - and my spindle is clean - the stupid thing has about three-quarters of an inch of 'crook' in it from left to right!
Does anyone know where I can get a heavy-duty rod with a morse taper so that I can remount these wheels, or is the whole thing unsalvagable?
