Angle grinder using buffer heads?

[goldstar0011]

Will these work with my angle grinder this

Angle grinder single speed 11000rpm, buffing wheels 4600rpm maximum, I would say no it's not safe.

 

[Ian]

depends what you want to do... if you want to ruin your paintwork, then yes

 

[goldstar0011]

kriky!

I read that to say 1100rpm not 11000rpm!!
Good spotting lads, I was gonna put a smug comment or two then as well, glad you guys pay more attention!

Get a multispeed drill?

 

[Dusk]

If you were hardcore - you could rig up a variable resistor to your angle grinder...

If you're gonna go to that trouble you may as well just buy a variable speed bench grinder for about £20.

Drills aren't good for the handling compared to a grinder/buffer.
As for the variable speed mod...hummm....

Think I'll just have to pay for a variable speed buffer

how much afet does this have on you paint!!! how good will it work if it is right!!!

 

[goldstar0011]

depends on what you use, I have G3 which I've used by hand and it sorts a large amount of scratches and paint mess, it's nickenamed T-cut on steriods, the liquid is clear but turns colour of the paint, thats how much it works, needs to stay wet and moved so a buffer is more useful tha the arm.

wats with all the sanding products? what you up to?

dont say sanding

 

[Dusk]

He just likes sanding and polishing... things

 

[goldstar0011]

sanding?
Polishing, i'm too cheap to get a re-spray so just gonna use G3 on it, I'm good at polishing things so much that they shine, you should see Dusks shlong, bling bling

Variable speed grinder is highly recommended! Ed i think used 3M cutting compound when he did my car last year, worked a treat. Dont forget to polish it up afterwards tho!

 

[goldstar0011]

Thats the plan, got most the chemicals I need, just need a decent buffer now, looking forward to it cause I got some spare wings looking nice aftre 10 mins hand buffering so what will it look like after 30mins at 3000rpm+

UPDATE -

Bought me one of these
and spent the good part of 4 hours really working on the car with G3 then Tcut wax and I gotta say I the pics don't do it justice!

ALL scuffs and light scratches are gone, bad ones are better looking and the paint is so shiney I was able to do my hair in the reflection
