The Shop > Finishing
Polishing technique.... well it works!

My first contribution here is to give young Ralph a little push in public.
He has no excuse now for putting off this project. I read this post a while back, and while Ralph was on his visit, I donated the necessary bits to make himself a SAFER polishing pigtail.
SO
:worthless:

No excuse no Ralph! Got it from the master's own mouth!

Good evening Mr Standard :thumbup:
I'll start work on that when I next need to polish.... Shouldn't be too long ;)
I have the two main items here too.... And it will surely only be a matter of 20 mins or so to convert to said safer option.
Now, just need to finish a few outstanding items and were ready to start some more fun projects ;D

Well eventually due to a few donated parts ;)
A new buffing wheel spindle..... Look maw!..... No chuck!!! :D
MT3 blank....
A bit of free hand shaping, ;D making sure to leave a collar the same size as the thread... A bit safer than turning it all down to 16MM ;)
A little flat to aid drilling.
Driled and tapped for grubscrew M6x1.0.
drill for pigtail shaft to fit, in this instance 6mm
And you end up with this.... :thumbup:
Add a buffing mop and you are away ;D
This not only provides a Great deal more safety but also allows you to get to both sides of the mop easily ;D
Very happy with this mod ;) Just used it to polish a the mini ball turner ;D
I am thinking about a cover for the threads.... Just a cylinder held in place by the MT3, there is enough of a gap between the arbour and the spindle to accommodate a cover.... Well that's for the next time I'm going to polish something ;D

And it took me about an hour due to styling .... For safety that was!! ;) :thumbup:

Ralph,
That is much safer now, no more nearly knocked knuckles. You should find now that your polishing will be a lot easier now you can easily get to all areas of the mop.

Now all we need is a demo vid of it in action.
