Greetings, I am in the market for a electric polisher for the final step in polishing out some scratches in a high gloss black polyester finish piano. During the PTG convention in July, 1999, in Kansas City, I attended a class taught by Phil Glenn. This hands on class involved polishing out scratches in a high gloss black polyester finish. The final steps involved a handheld electric polishing wheel with a soft buffing wheel and a bar of polishing compound. Today my quest for a handheld electric polishing tool took me to 6 different hardware/discount stores. The only polishers for sale in most of these places were designed for polishing car finishes. Unfortunately, I couldn't find what I was looking for. Tool Requirements: *Heavy Duty *low RPMs (1000-1400) *accepts 6" or 8" bench grinder polishing wheels Does anyone know where such a tool can be purchased? If not, does anyone have experience (good or bad) with using one of the polishers designed for use on cars (the random orbiting polishers with a lamb's wool bonnet). Thanks for any and all responses!
