how fast does the wheel turn? im want to use it to polish brass parts. is this a good option for what i want to do?

the speed is 580 rpm. it might polish flat stock . I would use a buffing wheel and buffing compound.

You really don't want variable speed on this lathe...either way it is a very dangerous piece of equipment if you are a "Tim Taylor" type. Shaping wood requires RPM, very sharp cutters and even sharper focus. That is all.

yeah but be carefull, if it spins too fast youll "burn" the finish on what you are polishing.

Yes, in fact I bought it mainly for that purpose. I did need a lot of the brass brush attachments though. If you will be cleaning a large area you go through them fast. I cleaned a tiled kitchen floor with it.

Hi, I've used the 1.5 inch diameter blade with small teeth to cut a thin (of about 1.5 mm thick) aluminum and copper plates and tubes . It works pretty well for me. It is possible that it will work for brass too. I've used Dremel type rotary tool with power of 170W (like Dremel 4000). This power is too low for aggressive cutting. Push level on the blade should be small to not stop rotation. I've used 15-20 r.p.m speed.

Should work fine for that, doesn't have the high RPM's as a Dremel does but has plenty of torque and about as much speed as any household drill does,The stand and feed lever should work better then the dremel did. nice working drill for what it costs for sure.

Hey Ce Ce My wife has used the buffer wheel to polish coper jewelry that she made, the wheels produce fantastic results. Hope this helps.

It takes about 3 hrs. To clean your brass where it looks like new. With 40 cal. You can tumble 50 to 75 rounds at a time, if I had to do over I would buy the next size larger tumbler

it's a pretty powerful tool so i would use a fine grade to work on more delicate or precise work. One thing i had a problem with is that the longer pointed attachment oscillates more widely than i thought, so that when you place into a corner, it can easily hit adjoining surfaces. hope that helps

Not recommend for this use. If you use water it really messes with the variable speed. Makita makes a nice electric polisher.

I think this would be the tool I would select if I was doing beads, shells and etc. around the home, because: it handles easily, has variable speed, keeps its charge (Li-ion batteries) and runs a long time. But if I was doing this as a business, I would invest into a heavy duty tool and put into a drill press type fixture (they have them on Amazon, take a look) for better durability and control. I hope this answers your question, if not ask again.

This is fine. Use it with a Dremel & Mother's mag wheel polishing cream. You'll like the results.

I use mine on bronze brass and aluminum regularly making finer adjustments in the surface. Hard grinding on a grinding wheel on the bench next to this device. The two machines work well together.

Bear with me for a day or two, as I'm home and the buffer is at a different location. I'll try to have an answer for you within the next two days, but whatever RPM it runs at, it does an excellent job (especially for the low cost). Also, remember that the speed you need to be concerned about, is the speed the wheel turns at the edge of the wheel/buff. For example, a slow speed 8" grinder, at the edge of an 8" wheel, the speed is the same as a high speed (3750 RPM) 6" grinder.

I would not use it to polish a car. Even at the lower speed it is to aggressive for polishing.

It polishes copper very well. It is the best and fastest polish I have ever used. It also adds protection from tarnish.

Yes, it will do it very nicely ... just get a good wheel that will not shatter.
