Machine Guide
Here's a list of recommended buffing machines and handheld tools that pair up great with Pryme wheels.
Large Wheels:
The 6 and 8 inch cleaning & flap wheels are designed to be used on a buffing machine or bench grinder. For a buffing machine, you'll want at least a 1/2 HP motor that spins around 3000-3600 RPM. One with an extended shaft is best, so you have lots of clearance to buff your parts. If you'll be doing lots of buffing, opt for a 3/4 HP motor.
Machine Reccomendations:
2 Speed 3/4 HP Baldor Buffer (will last a lifetime)

The wheels we sell can be used on a machine with a 1/2", 5/8", or 3/4" shaft.
Mini Wheels:
The smaller wheels (under 4" diameter) are sold with 2 different size shafts, 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch. The 1/4 inch is best used on a straight shaft die grinder. The wheels with the 1/8 inch shaft are for a Dremel or 1/8" rotary tool. Both size shafts can be used on a high speed drill with good results, but you'll achieve the best results with the tools listed below.
