Burnishing tool review

Tool reviewed = www.amazon.com...

[@johnshoureas1629]

It would have been nice to show us the tool being used, even on a scrap piece of stainless.

[@Volcker1929]

That little detail on the corners makes a huge difference, they look really good.

[@Volcker1929]

Porter Cable makes the Restorer, which is a less heavy duty version of this. They have pretty good parts support.

[@KundelCrane]

Yes sir!

[@DudleyToolwright]

I was looking for this tool and you are right the original brand is $1000. The one you posed a link to is gone now, but there are others. Thanks for sharing.

[@megajver]

I think you have the upper handle on the wrong side. Nice tool.

[@silverbankruptcy]

Can this be used to remove Paint from steel?

[@Fornaxfornax1]

Just a small note here - tools with the handle and trigger close to the centre of mass are much, MUCH better. I use grinders professionally. These tools with handle/triggers at the far end of a the machine make for hard work. Its difficult and unsafe to one hand them. One way or another its helpful to one hand tools to you can steady the workpiece etc. For me this is a red flag. I know how its MEANT to be used, but the design has its flaws.

[@redbay8527]

I thought for sure you'd use the tool on metal to show the results. Maybe a minute or two of use would have helped.

[@deejaydjan1080]

What is the best rpm range for aluminum brushing?

[@Martin-yl5zb]

I think the top handle should be on the other side - above the machine

[@1970chevelle396]

That looks like a good tool to have.

[@skiptracer8703]

I like the tool reviews Stan, Thanks -jim

[@MaturePatriot]

Chinglish needs an interpreter. You showed it, now Amazon is sold out! LOL Great review.

[@bcbloc02]

Not the kind of burnishing I am familiar with as I thought burnishing was always a rolling process?? Learn every day!!

[@mohammedirfan9897]

This is not Burnishing tool but kind of grinding tool..... Burnishing is cold rolling process. While this is material removing process for surface finishing. U may say a 'Buffing process' tool.

[@Mike-lt6sj]

That's true. I don't understand why they used this name, but it does blend well and work great for metal finishing.

[@carlescarles4112]

compare with cup wire brush which one are better for cleaning steel plate

[@ShadonHKW]

Probably a wire wheel, this puts a finish grain into the material, not really made for rust removal.

[@kine3165]

your genius in this direction, here and there but not in the tool review

[@gh778jk]

That's basically an angle grinder with a wide guard with a flapper wheel on it, right? That idea might open perspectives for the one off jobs... What RPM's are you using it at (for stainless)? Cheers Paddy

[@ShadonHKW]

I use low speed and just the weight of the tool for small touch ups. Higher RPM and pressures for large areas.

[@gh778jk]

OK, thanks Stan.... I may have a look for a no-names brand here... I may need/use such a thing twice a year. That said...it does look handy, and maybe turning and milling a load of parts to modify an small angle grinder may turn out more expensive. The Metabo SE17-200RT costs about 500 euro here (about 560 Freedom-Doll-hairs), Just for reference. How many watts is your machine? ( or 'orses', if you prefer!) Toodles Paddy

[@ShadonHKW]

1400 watt, power is adequate at any speed / tool pressure.

[@gh778jk]

Cheers Stan! Paddy

[@gatekeeper84]

A standard sized angle grinder runs at about 10000 rpm no load, so converting one into a burnisher will be a bit of a hassle. But if you open up the burnisher you'll probably find a lot of angle grinder parts.

[@vettepicking]

Eastwood has the same unit for about $200.

[@jasperedwards3341]

i want it for sanding signs ,sandpaper not brush

[@jasperedwards3341]

i need it for wood sanding old varnish

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

Does it still work after 2 years?

[@ShadonHKW]

Used 2-3 times a month and still working :)

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

@@ShadonHKW good to know, just bought one on amazon earlier today.

[@wayneacaron8744]

[@skiphill9]

They are already out of stock at Amazon :( Boo

[@ShadonHKW]

I saw that after I filmed this, didnt want to link any of the others I know nothing about, sorry.

[@skiphill9]

Thats OK. Somethings we have control over things , other times we don't. Good review anyway!

[@MrMiaunel]
