    Obviously, the bigger the hp of the machine, the quicker you will be able to polish and the larger diameter wheels you would be able to run.

    Ideal polishing speed is around 2800-3000rpm so a variable speed machine would be good for adjustment of speed when using smaller or larger wheels but not essential.

    When you are constantly stalling the motor or slowing it down by putting pressure on a wheel, then you know that you probably need a more powerful machine.

    You will get the job done using a small machine, but it will take longer and will probably vibrate the whole workshop down if you try to run any decent sized wheel on it.



    Lot's of good information here.
