Re: Buffing alternatives

Looks really great.
I use a high speed buffer for my knife making. I don't have burn through issues, but I can tell you how quickly the wheel can grab what you are buffing right out of your hands. Caution and complete attention is a must.
For guitar buffing it must be run much slower, but the hazard still exists. I will one day set up a buffer for my guitar making, however for now, hand rubbing has worked satisfactorily.
I also agree though, that a power buffed finish might turn out better, but that probably depends much on the person, the compounds, the speed, the time spent, etc, etc, etc.
Just a couple of cents I had in my pocket :>)
