| Mounting polishing wheels. |
| (1/1) |
| NeoTech:
I bought these cheap ass 150mm polishing wheels.. they came with.. well no bushing or mounting hardware.. I intend to mount these on a 1Hp electrical motor i have lying around but need some idea to secure that bloody thing to the shaft and properly drive it.. Suggestions? (photobomb me) |
| Pete.:
They should just screw onto a spiral polishing arbor - and screw off again. If you have no arbor just use two large flat washers and clamp the wheel between them. |
| DMIOM:
Polishing machines often use tapered spindles like these - think of a benchtop grinder with one of these in place of each wheel. These allow you to easily change wheels for a stiffer/softer wheel or when you change compound (I sometimes write the compound colour on the side of the wheel with a Sharpie to avoid cross-conamination, as the colour isn't always evident once its on a wheel). Or you can use/make somethink like these fixed adapters Dave |
