Cover Buffer Shaft When Rebuilding Your Classic Car
Mark SimpsonDescription
When using a buffing wheel, it’s not uncommon to have the part slide off the wheel and catch the shaft leaving marks. Here’s a tip that has you covered.
A common problem when buffing out stainless trim on a buffing wheel is you'll be working away on it and all of a sudden you'll slide off the wheel and hit the shaft. Easy way to fix that is to take a good quality heavy tape. Put it on the wheel. I put it on the shaft of the wheel in the same direction that the wheel is traveling. And that way if you should come off the wheel, it won't mark up your chrome, you stainless and keep you scratch free. Save you a lot of frustration.
I don't do that kinda stuff but it is an idea I never thought of. It was a good one too!
