Right now I have a single speed bench buffer that takes 6" wheels. It's faster than what is ideal but an electrician friend is looking at converting it to a dual or adjustable speed for me.
What I need is a source for buffing wheels to fit a 1/2" arbor. My local Lowes and Home Depot don't carry a selection of wheels. Harbor freight only have two different ones but they aren't the best quality.
Any suggestion where I can order some good wheels?
Side note: Yes, the 3400 rpms is not ideal for working on pipes. However, I pulled out 4 old basket pipes and worked on the stems and bowls and they are all nice and shiny now. Only one hit the ground.

Caswell has just about the best pricing and a good selection. As a bonus, their sister business, in a shared building is British Tools & Fasteners, so yeah, they're cool.
Jestco out of North Carolina is also has a good selection and prices.
