In Response To: Re: More aluminum observations (Capt Patrick McCrary)

Well, learning new stuff is half the fun. Chucked up the buffing wheel in the floor drill press, backed the press table way down to give me some room, worked fine. Putting the cloth wheel on the arbor in the grinder or my silver buffer spun way too fast for the aluminum. 12 speed drill press worked fine since I was able to get the speed just right for the cloth wheel. Rub some jeweler's rouge on the wheel and have at it. Will polish a beat up screwdriver to a mirror finish.

I remain very easily entertained, but don't forget, you are an older Fart than me, right?
