Michael jones Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Gidday, I have been getting really good results with a dremel and wool attachment, but I have seen some people using sponge pads on a dual action polisher and getting great results. A great example is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S83pORseuK8&t=717s Does anyone know of a cheap polisher that can go very slowly and also handle the possible extra torque required for these sponge pads. I think it may be a bad idea to use them on my dremel as it could over heat. I do have a drill which would probably work be be fairly clumsy.

Bugatti Fan Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Companies like Proxxon make variable speed control units. This may be an avenue worth pursuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since posting this topic, I found you can buy a back plate that fits a dremel (usually used for sanding but I will use to attach sponge pads), and then can also buy the sponge pads all from aliexpress. It cost me approx. $12USD for all of this. Hope it turns up soon! Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I’m toying with the idea of using a battery operated electric toothbrush and modifying it to take sanding and polishing pads. Still in the mental experiment stage.? Not an original idea though, I think it was deep in this forum somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
