- Grab an old buffer of craigslist, a set of buffing wheels of Amazon, and breathe new life into old CDs/DVDs and still have a grinder to sharpen your zombie slaying equipment.

I was just a local high volume DVD/CD reselling shop and this is what they had someone doing behind the counter non stop...so it must work well. Thx for the video.
Don't be afraid of a buffing wheel, instead master it. You don't need a piece of wood.
I know this was 9 years ago 🤯where does the time go? Thanks to yours and others videos I made one.
Couple modifications 5:28 I put a thick rubber plug there think it’s 3/4” thick
drilled hole through rubber and countersink bolt head in rubber. Makes it much easier
On the backside of the wood “disc holder” I added a handle that 3 fingers can fit under making it very easy to hold!
Just wondering why you replaced the wing nut with a normal nut. Couldn't you just turn the bolt round and put the wingnut on the other side of the wood?'
Great video man, I did disc repair on a belt grinder before out of necessity it was a lot tougher then this. But cheap and effective too.
thank you sooooooo much for this, I'm a jeweler, so I have everything I need, & I am an avid audiobook fan while I work, so HEY!!!! WOW! I can see good times ahead for some of my CDs which are scratched & have been so discouraging to try to listen to. Have a wonderful holiday season, THIS HAS BEEN MY BEST GIFT !!!! Just wanted to suggest a different polish, try using ZAM, it's a really good polish for plastic.
You should really rip your disc to your computer. So that you do not lose them.
@@JTBivens ; sorry for the late reply, the reply function on my pc has not been working for the last couple of weeks, how do download a cd to my pc?
For CD's the data is below the label, for DVD"s it's in the middle of the disk, and for Blu-Ray it's near the bottom. So this wouldn't work for blu-ray unless you are only taking off less than .1mm of material.
i swear i told them to put a blu-ray into a case again like they did with floppy discs or md-cd discs
example would be:

but no1 listened to me
no1
this long would have avoided this proble
the case might break get replaced end of story
@@derrickcummings3990 That would have been much smarter, more expensive tho.
True, that's why the top of the disc is important otherwise there is no reelection back to the laser sensor.
Tomahawks... yeah I usually carry one of those in my pocket Lol. Try adding a soft foam buffing pad, use mild abrasive toothpaste, spraying rubbing alcohol on the disc keeping it wet preventing the toothpaste from drying up, and you can easily get a factory finish on those disc with light pressure at high speeds. No joke, toothpaste with foam pads works and It's cheap.
I like the wingnut better, just use it on the other side.
Yeah agreed and it took me a few more iterations before figured that out. Duh! Actually I almost always use it without the center bolt now
Pls tell me what is rpm of this bench grinder . I have a bench grinder of 3000 rpm . Is 3000 rpm fine for blu ray discs . Polishing compound is for metal. Jewellery etc . Is it fine for discs
I have a disc that I broke into two pieces. I have cellotaped it back together but the cd player wont play it for some reason. Hopefully your video will help. Many Thanks
Hi, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻 It’s really brillant… Is the repair works on the front of disc? Could we try with like this?
When I was at audio tech school was used toothpaste with great success, because there is a 3ml polycarbonate layer before th.encodong it can be grind and buffed.
great video!!! best way to repair scratched CDs!!!
What is the RPM speed of this motor? I don't want to eat them for lunch trying to polish them....
I can’t find that buffing motor anywhere
that did a good job. might have to try this
Hi mister
I get spammed with read disc errors on games I want to play but the laser can't read the game so it doesn't detect the data weird sounds and then the disc cannot be read I don't even know a permanent solution that I will fix this
love it good work bud. where can i get those buffing wheels?
?
Did you find the buffing wheels? Brian posted it under the video. Click on "show more".
Im do this at home
..this very good
nice
Why didn't you show you buffing the disc? Isn't that the point of the video?
Yeah I don't trust it when they don't show the process and show the disc after. Especially those videos of using toothpaste. Prefer the the jfj easy pro.
whats this?😊
thats awesome ,, thank you ,,still got D V D 'S
What can you do for deep scratches?
you will need some kind of sanding action, to sand away the layer that has the deep scratches, then you would buff to polish
So, this is like one of those car polish tools? Do they work as well?
The data is on this side.. Slams it on to the wood 😂
I don't believe you because you DIDN'T show the game playing at All!
you didn't really show how have you done.....
You didn't explain well what kind of wheel you used.. make it easy for us dummies..what kind of wheels are on your grinder
intead of doing those all things take tootpast cottonbal rub it over the scratches wet cotonbal clean it dry cotonbal clean it again and done
brasso works too for light scratches.
aarya Rashinkar so stupid
In England, Brasso is a roll of something like Cotton wool, [unsure of what to call it] been using it for Decades, to remove anything but the deepest scratches on records, or even Albums, even the deepest scratches can be improved on .Whatever is in the material,leaves a residue, but can be mostly removed with surgical spirit, and then liquid soap and water,under a running tap, holding disc vertically, generally use 1 inch unused paint brush for the wash.Been considering trying on cd, or dvd,glad to see you have tried already.
Wrong. Tried it. Toothpaste and brasso doesn’t work
So far I have ruined 2 CDs, I guess f the scratch is too deep it wont be abe to be buffed out, CAUSE IT SURE DIDNT
Yeah if it's so deep it can't be buffed out or you hold it in one spot for so long it heats up and warps the disc, there likely wasn't anything that was going to save the disc.
@@briancummings2803 Yep
There are expensive buffers that will remove the deep scratches but it cost so much like a lot
Does this remove the scratche s or does it just fill them in?
Matt Bathurst if they're light scratches it removes them. if it's gouged it might round off the edges enough to prevent the laser from refracting
Brian Cummings does this method work for game discs or just dvds
Evan Jett I don't know. in theory it's just removing scratches from plastic but I don't know where the data resides on different type of game discs
I've used it on ps2 and ps1 games with great success. But I usually use it on DVDs.
King_Of _Collectibles I got a a library DVD yu GI oh 5ds it has scratch es
did you buy this on Amason?😊
I bought the buffing wheels on amazon then put them on a grinder I bought on CL
Okay😊
Brian Cummings you didnt create this method
Hackers ERROR:93572819468 geez take it easy. who cares who "invented" it, you can have credit for all I care. if someone else posted a video they didn't title/tag it very well because I couldn't find one that referenced using a buffer or grinder to polish them.
that is a buffing machine
+Mohamed Rifkhan It's a grinder that I took the grinding wheels and spark deflectors off. A true buffing machine usually has longer shafts that allow you to buff larger objects.
😐
sorry did you say come with a way beacause you arent the one that invented this
Hackers ERROR:93572819468 fair enough I just didn't find any you tube videos on it.
This goes against the physics of laser deflection and would create an uneven surface on the disc making it impossible to read the data. The surface of the disc has to be very, very flat. This is why scratch have such a great impact on whether the disc can be read or not. If you were to buff only the scratched portions of the disc, it would have shallow regions and imbalance on the disc as much as it would be unreadable. I don't recommend this method, you could buff the disc with a buffer wheel on a drill and get better results.
i can assure you that this works. i worked in a used media store for years doing this for half my shift. i own thousands of disc media, most of which were purchased from that store, and they all work flawlessly
Fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sandrine Nadege Ickelsheimer Not fake
Sandrine Nadege Ickelsheimer it works been doing it for years
i use a car buffer though
Not a fake, I use a machine similar to remove scratches from CDs and DVDs and works
