Bill, I got the buffing wheel from Penn State and it is used strictly for buffing. Here is the link. It is not powerful enough for grinding nor is it designed to attach a stone. In addition the stone would have to be really small thereby creating to drastic of a hollow grind. The 3 material applied in sequence are Tripoli, White Diamond Rouge, and Carnuba wax. I have also heard that you can use this machine as a final polish on your turning tools much like a strop. I haven't tried it personally but sounds like a good idea. The EEE Ultra Shine cream is a U-Beaut product out of Australia. You can find this at most wood turning supply houses now as it has gained a lot of popularity. I get mine from Penn State here. Glad you enjoyed the episode and thanks for the comment. Shannon

Bob,
Nice teaching. Helpful tips.

Could you share the details about your buffing wheel device? It is variable speed, which is useful. Is this dedicated to your buffing or do you use it also for grinding?

Could you direct us to your source locations for (1) EEE cream (if I have that correctly), (2) your materials added to your wheels, and (3) your wheels? I want to be sure I’m understanding your buffing process.

Thanks.
Bill
