I can get a running 1725rpm motor for $20, and I was wondering what a safe speed to run a buffer at was. I was planning on using a mandrel to have two wheels. Because of this setup, I will have the ability to pick a slower speed than normal. I was thinking a 3:2 pulley ratio, to get it to 1150 rpm.
Also, could someone educate me about the buffing grits/types of wheels? I would like to be able to get a mirror finish on wood, but also a sheen on handles. Thanks for any advice.
Edit: it's a 1/2 hp motor
