The closest thing I have is a Dewalt high-speed angle grinder, but I don't see any sort of reference to the ability to put a buffing bonnet on it.
http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_detail.asp?productID=145 I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of serious buffing, so if it's not too much trouble, if you could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

On the Westsail, which was owned by a friend of mine (also white gelcoat), he did the power buffing (thank g-d) and at times he was buffing hard enough to actually slow the machine down a bit (of course he let up right away) and still no problems. As long as you "get" how to control the spin (have you ever used one of those janitorial floor buffers - now there's some hysterical laughter the first time) it's fine. I should see if I can find a link to one online, so we know we're talking about the same thing. I think they're pretty common at rental places, then I bought a 3M buffing pad/wheel. It's a lamb's-fleecy looking thing with a nut impregnated in the center which goes over the spindle on the buffer. One's good for a whole boat. I'd be happy to get more specific on products etc. if anyone's actually going for it. I could do a little online research - or perhaps find some of the things in the WM catalog for reference. --- Rachel > > Tod <======owner of one of those useless auto buffers. :-) Yeah, I fell for one of those too. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
