POWERTEC 6-Inch Bench Buffer Jewelry Polisher - Includes 4PCs 80Ply Thic Buffing Wheels | Ideal Benchtop Buffing Machine for Polishing Metal, Jewelry, Knives, Wood, Jade, and Plastic (BF601C)

OK, so I am happy with the quality, the smooth and quiet operation and it comes with a hard and soft buffing wheel. I purchased to buff stainless steel bolts on hunting rifles. I am pretty sure this is the same unit HF sells with about the same reviews. Well, went to buff my bolt and the wheel choaked down and almost stopped. Tried again, the same issue. I was really disappointed. Then I got an idea! I removed the wheel I was not using (soft wheel), the spacer, the two-disc, and the nut from the other side. Voila! Wow! What a difference. It screams! I had to hold my parts very tightly or they would be forced out of my hand. It was like a different buffer. Feels strong and capable of anything now, but still small and quiet and affordable. If you try this on yours, post an update. Mine went from night today and I just love it now. Try my trick on yours.

Plenty of power on 8" wheels. Super smooth rolling machine. We abuse it every day. Every ray it runs like was new. It does the job and is a pleasure to use. Fit and finish is flawless and the accessories package is nicely complete. It is fun to use. It is a great old man toy.

Got it 2 days after purchase and package was in perfect shape. Came with all the spacers and flanges and 2 buffs. A hard buff and a soft buff. The buffer is very robust and durable. Very quiet and has very little vibration to it. If you just put something weighted behind this thing you don’t even have to bolt it down but it has holes predrilled so you can do so. I love this thing. Very nice machine for the price.

The buffer itself works well. Use some practice pieces and make sure you pick up polishing compound because it's not included. You do need to bolt it down a bit, mine travels on my work bench. The stock buffers shed a LOT at first, before settling down after a few polishing sessions. Still sheds now and then but I should get a few more sessions out of it before I move onto an additional set I purchased (wider). Overall, fits my budget and gets the job done.

Está maquina Trabaja muy bien

I was a little hesitant at first about this buffer. I've used more expensive buffers before (Caswell), but this one was a pleasant surprise. Most of my work is on small parts, so a 6" 0.5 HP buffer fit the bill. Out of the box this buffer hummed. Smooth, no wobbles or shakes. It even included two wheels! As others have stated, it is heavy enough with a large enough footprint that you could get away without fixing it to a table/stand. If you're working on larger parts, step up to an 8" 1 HP buffer. Otherwise, this is a great buy!

Great buffing machine. Powerful and gets the job done. I would buy again.

Machine is nice but the slow speed one has a very low horsepower rating and bogged down easily. Probably would be great for jewelry work but I had to upgrade to a higher speed 3/4 hp unit for my application
