    Default Bowl buffing

    G'day all,

    I recently commented that deep bowls could not be buffed on the Beale 3 wheel buffing system.
    After not being able to find a supplier of mandrel extension in Aus I decided to make my own. They are available in USA for $27 plus P&H.

    Made these to fit my Vicmarc chuck, but can be made to fit any jaws.
    For the 20cm wheels I turned a tapered cylinder, reduced the end to 20mm to fit the wheel, added a large washer, drilled out the end to take a Tek screw.
    For the ball fitting I turned a tapered cylinder, drilled out the end to take a nut which I made a tight fit & added thick CA glue to fix . Then just threaded the ball on.
    The only drawback is having to change the wheel for each compound used, but I don't find that a hassle.

    Hope this helps someone

    There is instructions for this in the "Polisher's Handbook". (by Ubeaut. ) A good read if you haven't already. But I too came up with the idea and made one before I read the book.

    Great result. As you have found we do not always have to purchase items, sometimes thing's can be made.
