Buffing & Polishing

For buffing and polishing, Grizzly offers a broad selection of buffing wheels and polishing com- pounds that are very well suited for use with the Model G1015. Please refer to our current catalog. The auxiliary motor shaft arbor accepts buffing wheels with a 5/8'' bore. See Figure 20.

To buff and polish:

1.Make sure the machine is off and the power cord is unplugged. Remove the left-handed nut at the end of the shaft.

2.Sandwich an optional buffing wheel between two wheel flanges and slide onto the shaft.

3.Tighten the nut with one hand while holding the shaft with the other. The left-handed rotation will ensure that the nut stays tight during operation.

4.With a brand new buffing wheel it is neces- sary to charge the wheel with compound before the first use. Follow the directions which come with the buffing wheel and compound.

5.If facing the front of the machine, buffing and polishing should be done on the bot- tom of the wheel. See Figure 21.

Never introduce a sharp edge of a work- piece into the direction of rotation. Always work with the rotation direction. Workpieces can be pulled from your grasp if forced into the wheel, or if too much pres- sure is used while buffing. Serious person- al injury could result.

6.Firmly grasp the item to be polished with both hands. Lightly and evenly move the item across the face of the wheel until the surface is polished. Use extra care when polishing plated materials. Over-buffing can completely remove plating when exposed to the abrasive wheel for too long.

Pieces of the buffing wheel or buffing com- pound can be expelled from the machine at extremely high speeds. Always wear ANSI- approved safety glasses to avoid injury to your eyes.
