[Roadsters] Semi-OT: Bench grinders

[davesmbox at aol.com]

Get Two. For the grinder just go to sears. A 6 or 8" is fine get the stand. For the buffer spend the bucks and get a good kit from Eastwood. Harbor Freight is Chinese CRAP. If you don't use it much the stuff is OK but for a good shop tool avoid them.

First, a thanks for all the responses on the engine bay color opinion poll.
I spent the weekend doing an inventory on the chrome for my Roadster. I used
some hand polish to check the condition and was surprised to see how well it
cleaned up. I would like to polish all my chrome and stainless. Any parts that
don't clean up or need repair, I'll send out for re-conditioning.
Since I don't think I would use a dedicated buffing machine very often, I
would like to buy a bench grinder and then a set of buffing wheels/polishes.
Any suggestions on a good grinder. I hear the cheap Harbor Freight grinders
vibrate badly. I would like something nice that will last.
I'm also not sure whether to buy a dual speed. I understand you need a lower
rpm for buffing plastic. There's not much plastic to buff so, maybe it's not
worth the expense.
TIA,
Dan McHatton
