Hi Terry,
You had previously mentioned an arbour, is this something you assembled, or bought?
The Shopsmith table is too high, to be used with this, as I am visualizing this. What do you use as a table.
Would it be possible to send a picture of your setup?
Thanks,
John

  I just buffed a set of plastic keys today on my ShopSmith. I slowed the ShopSmith down to the "jigsaw" setting (almost the slowest setting - a wild guess might be 500 rpm - maybe a bit more). I used an unsewn buffing wheel. I used red rouge on the nastiest scratches and marks - the red rouge is aggressive and leaves a fine scratch pattern. Then I hit them all with white rouge on a similar buffing wheel and they all polished up bright and shiny in just a few seconds for each key.

      I also have problems in this area.

      I had thought on a softer buffing wheel, but have been unable to find a source. The selections available at my suppliers, are limited. 

      Any ideas?

      I had thought on slowing the wheel down. Would that help?
