    +1 to Harbour Freight Bench buffer. $45.00 and your off and running. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-buffer-94393.html I have this for straight razor restores EDIT: Just as a note, you can slow the speed of the buffing wheel down by reducing the size of the wheel. So on a 6" Buffer if you...
