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!
Dan, you are a treasure. Thanks for this VIDEO!
Every single video I see with him I can't explain how I feel... You define him well, he is THE GUY!
tomorrow ill have this in my shop!!i never thought i would get to this point!!
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.
Great vedio...How I wish I have this guitar buffer❤
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
Can you wash the buffers . What can you do if they are out of sharp and not been clamps to keep in sharp
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
Great to see this but how can I clean my old acoustic guitar which has been neglected by the previous owner and the laque is dull and stained.
Are there any tips for getting the best results with a handcleaning job??? What kind of stuff brings back the shine?? (polish or what to use) Can you Please help me with this big problem???
I'l be soooow happy if I know how to handle this. 🙏 🎸 🎶
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...
Thanks so much!!
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?
you've done this before.
was it deleted?
Can you wash the buffers
I can dream about getting one of these.
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.
@@georgelackey622 agreed
I‘m currently building one with a huge 5kw polyphase motor (yeah in Europe we have 3phase electricity in every house and shed)
Thank you
Great video with lotsa information, thank you much. And those guitar finishes are beeeuteeeful.
i guess it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream new series online ?
@Douglas Jude I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Eric Joel Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
@Eric Joel thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!
@Douglas Jude Happy to help xD
Hehehehhee... He said _shaft_ and _nut_ in the same sentence. *BINGO!*
ahaha
dirty works?
vitor MG Brasi para bens lindo trabalho
lol - this thing goes up $50 every time I look at it.
I'll keep buffing with a drill and pads. I can't afford the Stew Mac buffer. Or, I'll make my own.
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.
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.
This video is just recycled footage?
WHO CARES IT'S AWESOME. GO BUY A BUFFER
