POWERTEC8-Inch Bench Buffer Jewelry Polisher - Includes 2PCs 80Ply Thic Buffing Wheels | Slow Speed Long Shaft Benchtop Machine for Polishing Metal, Jewelry, Knives, Wood, Jade, and Plastic (BF800)

I transformed it into a stone working tool using urethane wheels with belts and covers, with water drip. It more than meets my expectations in such. It is a far less expensive solution for the limited work cutting and polishing stones I do to support my wife's hobby making jewelry. I have not experienced anything in using it that is disappointing or negative.

This Powertec 8-inch bench buffer is better than expected. My past experience with grinders & buffers has been poor performance. This unit was a pleasant surprise. It is quiet, balanced, has a great fit and finish and does not move around the bench top when being used. The packaging was done well and the provided buffing wheels were fine for my initial jobs.

It seems to work exactly as advertised.

Buffer performs very well. Bought to clean decades-old tarnish off my dead grandmother's wedding silverware. I was pleased that it came with the extra wheels and the buffing compounds.Only drawback is the lint and dust generated during operation. I made the mistake of using this on my kitchen table and it got strings, lint, dust, and other crumbs EVERYWHERE. Recommend using in garage or outside, especially during first use. I expect much less strings to fly off in subsequent uses.

Dislike poorly made just quit working

Bought this early 2024 and the shaft size is 5/8" which matches the description. Another review said their machine was a different size and I almost didn't buy this because of their feedback. Apparently the company fixed the issue and are sending the correct item. It runs smooth and seems well-made. I use it for polishing knives and it works really well. I also have a 6" leather stropping wheel that I run in one side and it also works fantastic. Definitely recommend this if you are looking for a lower speed buffer.

This is a very good product for the money. I use it weekly for putting a mirror finish on the knife blade. The slower 1750 RPM motor does not create heat like a higher turning motor.

The media could not be loaded. Unfortunate. I don’t know if I received a dud or not, but I am pretty disappointed with the quality of this tool. It struggles quite a bit to start up and gets very hot quickly.
