3450 rpm
1/3 hp
double sided
lighted
110V
6' grinder or buffer
very heavy stand (cast iron) with deep cast iron removable parts tray
SEARS Craftsman
The small buffer (in the corner, that is no longer used) is something that I built from 2x4's - several decades ago - for buffing small parts.
This should be a good replacement.
Truth be told, that wooden thing still works, but Mrs. bloke might like this one for buffing her woodwind parts (etc.)
She has a choice of four other machines ("Hoss" - 2 hp/3000 rpm; "Buster" - 3 hp, 2500 rpm, 3-phase; "Buddy" 1/2 hp, 1750 rpm, and "Smoochie" 1/2 hp, 3450 rpm...all are double-sided) but this one is faster than one the two smaller ones - and lower hp than the the faster of the smaller ones, so it might suit her better than either of those. I think she'll like the cast-iron box (for parts), and suspect that she'll find a cardboard box that "just" fits down inside it. Also, this is a great place to install worn-out 8" buffs - once they've worn down to 5-1/2" or 6".
bloke "I've never gone shopping for either a buffer or a grinder...I just pick 'em up when people are offering them cheap...and I guess I'll name this one 'Rosie'."
