What is the maximum diameter wire brush or buffing wheel you can use (at lowest speed) without burning up the bearings.

It's a die grinder. Not made for that. Use a drill with a rotary wire brush. Use a slow speed buffer for buffing with a 5 to 7 inch pad. However, if you have those small rotary buffs from Eastwood - the kind you might buff a wheel or aluminum manifold with, it would be suitable.

a 3" wire wheel has a max. rpm of 20,000. Makita die grinder has 17,000 rpm but personally I wouldn't use a wire wheel on a die grinder.

I would suggest that a 2 inch cup or wire wheel is the largest diameter I would use at the lowest speed.

Yes, just find the same arbor sized accessory wheel at 6" diameter and you're set. Keep in mind it's not variable speed so you're stuck at 1 speed...albeat a awesome-fast/smooth speed.

I own this set and theres no max RPM stamped on the bits. They work great and have an aggressive cut for easy material removal. But these are designed to be used at low RPM's anyway.

One could always install a Rheostat (just like on a Router Table) and control the speed from "0" to what ever speed it will do. The low speed is plenty slow for turning or polishing anything..............if one desires very, very slow........consider the "Mini Lathe". Just suggestions.

Honestly, I wouldn't use it with anything other than the max speed recommended (which is still half the speed of my 12v corded DA polisher that goes up to 6400rpm's). I tried this product with a drill similar to yours, and while it does work, it just takes a LOT more time and effort to get results. It does work on light scuffs and swirls, but anything more takes an incredible amount more effort than it should.

The general rule is the faster the better. You can use any RPM, but why. I have 5 each 7200 rpm in mine.

We have a 650 and we only use the 3 armed side brushes. I have "heard" that the 6 arm brushes put a strain on the motor.

I have not not used it in that manner, but with the right wheel it should work. You should be able to find sanding disks and wire brush wheels for this unit that could be used in that manner. Make sure you have the proper guards and wear proper protective equipment when using different wheels, especially wire wheels.

I use the white polish to do lenses, also different types of buffing compound work well, typically ill use the soft cotton wheel but to remove larger scratches ill use the white on a medium wheel. Hope this helps.

yes for a wire wheel but a polishing wheel on one side and a honing wheel on the other will throw off the balance of the machine make sure its bolted down

The Eastwood 1 HP dual speed buffer comes with shaft bushings that can be used to move wheels out further from the motor body, or bring them closer, as needed for various applications. Buffing and polishing wheels can be used, but so can wire wheels or even grinding wheels. However, if grinding wheels are used, there is no wheel guard or grinding platform to aid in grinding operations. The wheels would be free spinning, requiring free hand grinding, obviously more dangerous than using a grinder with a wheel guard and grinding platform.

Hi Marcia....this professional hot air brush has a 11/4" diameter/1000 watts/3-position switch Hi-Lo-Off/360 degree tangle free swivel cord. Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. God Blesses.

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!

60 and 120...........I returned the one I purchased because I was not able to true up each of the grinding wheels. The bearings were also extremely loud which leads me top believe they would not last very long. I have purchased 2 Rikon 80-805 Slow Speed Grinders and have not had any issues for over 2 years.

I suspect that you will not be able to find a wire brush (wheel or cup) rated at 25,000 RPM.

Yes. You can chose low, medium, or high RPM spin speed. When I set mine on low and tested I noticed most the corn did not go to far and was much quitter.

75 micron is probably best ..........anything smaller will clog quickly depending on how dirty your oil is to start with.............clean up is easy............I us soap and hot water
