    There's an OSHA safety video on RUclips. One of the stories is about a man who removed a buffing wheel from a dedicated buffing machine. He installed a grinding wheel. Now, many guys who have spent their lives in shops will know that most buffing wheels rotate faster than grinding wheels. And you guessed it, the grinding wheel came apart at full speed and killed a man. Be careful, think, observe, don't be afraid to speak up!

    I’ve watched so many buffing and polishing videos, this is the only way to get a factory mirror luster. All other methods will leave swirls if you look hard enough.

    I ran across your video while looking for a solution for my Gibson guitar. The perspiration from my arm has dulled the nitro finish on my guitar. No "guitar polish" is helping. I have no Luther equipment like you. Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    What do you mean by breaking in the Buffs ? 'Getting them to run smoothly together in sync ? If so how long does it take to break them in ? 'Thanks

    Do you use Talc or Corn Starch to remove the micro swirl marks once done?
    And thanks for the tip on clamping multiple wheels together. Your the first person I've seen do that.
    Cheers...

    Any chance you could to a tutorial on installing covers on humbuckers? I know there's some stuff on the internet already, but a lot of those are about wax potting the entire pickups and apparently there are different spacings for different pickups?

      I FINALLY GOT MY BUFFER FROM STEWMAC, IT WAS MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF AND IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. NEXT TO MY BANDSAW AND JOINTER/PLAINER IT'S MY NEW FAVORITE TOOL. OH YEAH MY OVERHEAD PIN ROUTER IS COOL TOO. WHO DOESN'T LOVE TOOLS?

      Easy enough to build one on a budget. Most expense is pads.

    I'll keep buffing with a drill and pads. I can't afford the Stew Mac buffer. Or, I'll make my own.

  • @nyacoustics8373

    one little slip and that fancy guitar will be seriously damaged when it hits that part of the metal machine! way to risky. too much of an awkward balancing act with a guitar in your hand.

    • @stricknine8623
      @stricknine8623 3 года назад

      No doubt, something "could" go wrong but that is a very large buffer, putting your guitar a safe distance from moving parts that could harm the finish and furthermore this is how every guitar at guitar manufacturing facilities do it.
      They have very large stationary buffers...Some bigger than this one.
      So, I think its safe to say that Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, ect. are doing it the best way.
