I now need to refinish a wood butcher block and I'm wondering if this polisher can be used in dry applications?

You dont have to have water but for wood you use random orbital sanders not this.this is for granite, marble,natural stones.

I have a butcher block on my kitchen island and don't use it for cutting directly on it and the cabinet maker told me that he used Good Stuff on it for the sealer and that's what I should use. Couldn't find it anywhere; but Amazon.com -- I was told to use very fine steel wool on it to get back to bare wood, wipe it down with a tack cloth and then use the Good stuff. Good luck!

I haven't attempted to polish wood items. I can't see why the not. I do some wood work using a hand rubbed oil type finish for gun stock finishing. I use paraffin oil with pumice followed by rottenstone for my polishing compound. I don't see why you couldn't apply the same to a buffer wheel. You could also experiment with the polishing compound sticks that come with the kit. I should also mention I usually remove the tool rest from the unit when I'm buffing. Hope this helps!

Yes you can! and it cleans up very easily. There is an extra coat on the butcher block which protects it.

Depends on the kind of instruments and their uses. I wouldn't use it as a general metal polish such as on the electron gun of an electron microscope.

Did you use butcher block oil? If so, a light sanding should take them off. The manufacturer recommends coating with butcher block oil and then lightly sanding the surface as well. If need be, just sand them all off and re apply the oil. By the way, I used an old kitchen towel that was made of tightly woven cotton/polyester to apply butcher block oil to my block.

I think it will do what you want. I had never heard of this stuff until I bought a butcher block and modified it to what I wanted. Part of the sales pitch is the coating is Good Stuff and that is the reason I tracked this down and bought it. I am pleased with the way it turned out, just be sure to apply in thin coats.

I would not recommend it for unsealed/ unfinished wood. If the wood is dirty, sand or or steel wool area. The purpose of this product is to clean and protect the FINISH of the wood. The company states it may dry out area or leave an oily residue....but not harm the wood. You dont state why you would want use the product.....You may want to google the company for a type of product you need for your concern, I have always found them very helpful.

I would say No, the polish dries very quick less then a min. I hope this helps

I don't see why not. You say "while the glue dries," but there really is no reason to remove the screws after the glue DOES dry. Assuming you put the holes on the bottom of the butcher block, they won't show anyway.

No. I think these are excellent for use on achieving an amazing finish on wood but would not recommend them for polishing sterling silver. Unless it was an item that was damaged and being restored. Even under those circumstances I think using wet dry silicone sandpaper in fine grits would be best then followed by using Maas and then Renaissance wax to polish it.

Sorry, can't say. Have only used it as a buffer/ polisher for that it is great!

I have only used it for painting prep purposes, drywall and a wooden desk. I'm not sure about wet sanding, I'm sorry :(

I have never used Butcher Block Conditioner but the oil seems to work just great on my wooden cutting board.

I have no idea about the raw wood :(I used it on our builder grade shiny surface cabinets with no sanding! Sorry I couldn't help!

It sounds like you have a standard "grinder" that typically uses metal or concrete grinding or cut off wheels. If you are considering using your grinder for the concrete polishing pads consider that these polishing pads will work dry BUT they will burn out quickly and it will be difficult to get an even smooth appearance. In my experience they aren't best used dry but with a wet polisher. I only use the pads with a wet polisher - mine is a makita and it works great. I recently did 3 countertops - one was about 2x11 and the others were much smaller. The pads worked very well. With projects the size of mine you will need multiple pads per grit. Hope this helps.

We used a Dewalt DWE6401DSR Vraibale speed disk sander to dry polish some countertops. Ideally one would use something along these lines.....Toolocity WEP110_VX Wet Granite/Concrete Polisher with Diamond Polishing Pads Package
