3/4 hp BALDOR BUFFER 1800 OR 3600 rpm

[Irby G.]

Hi, I was looking for some opinions for the Baldor Model: 332B (1800 rpm) OR 333B (3600 rpm). I'm looking at possibly buying one of these(or some other) buffer for restoring my '63. Would anyone know the pros or cons of the 1800rpm or the 3600rpm. They are both the same price. Seems like the faster the better....right?

Higher speed works better, too hard to get scratches out with low rpm motor.

The lower speed 1800 is meant for aluminum and soft metals .Where as the higher speed 3600 is meant for stainless and harder metals.

Baldor also sells a 2 speed unit, it seems that some distibutors only sell certain styles units so you really have to shop around thru different distributor till you find the unit you like

Speed

3600 is good for polishing with a set up wheel and buffing with a cut wheel you want to run slower speed for coloring. The bigger the buff dia the greater the tip speed you can use a 10" for cutting and a 6" for coloring.
