Buffing Wheel Suggestions

[PApiper63]

I am thinking about purchasing a buffing wheel and would like some suggestions about what to look for in this purchase. It would be helpful if you might also suggest a specific brand. Also, any suggestions you can make on how you use your buffing wheel would be helpful. Thanks so much for everything.

Variable speed, you'll use the lowest speed. And, hang on to the damned pipe!

Most likely. I like the wide space between the spindles and the slow speed should work for you. I'm not familiar with the brand so I can't speak to how well it is or isn't made. Chinese? You might query. I tend to avoid Chinese power tools as I think the builds aren't substantial. Still, just a personal preference.

You will also want unstitched clot wheels.

The slowest speed on that unit still seems pretty fast. I thought I had read somewhere 500-800 rpm is the target for buffing pipes (but I'm NOT any sort authority on this).

By and large, slower is better.

I have way too many pipes and they're all old timers, pretty much. I use micro mesh pads on the stems when I get really ambitious, which is very seldom. I often fantasize about obtaining a wheel set up. I've even dallied with Dremel and drill inserts to disappointing effect.
I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love, then met another and....well, you know the rest.
I haven't seen another one with this pricing and rpm range quite like:
