You're not poping my balloon at all Max.... I have an almost identical
grinder in the lathe shop as Bob's... it's a B&D but it's not variable and
it's a brute. My B&D 1/2" drill is over 15 years old.

Now the question is would you use a grinder as a polisher.... or would you
label a grinder as "Professional Grade"???

Bob's just having some fun and so am I!

God forbid some newbie to sailing takes a cue from Bob and tries "buffing" a
hull at 10K RPM with a Grinder!!!......

How about 4K? 6? Do you even know that some operate as low as 3500?

Guess not!

Still way too fast. 1500rpm is about as fast as you want a hull polisher to
run.

. . .unless you and gelcoat have no particular love for each other.

And yet 3M says 3K is a safe max. Hmmm. Think I'll beleive 3M and my own actual
experience on this one. One thing's for sure. Most of you haven't even tried to
use a grinder, so you can only guess at how well it works. I've used both and
using a grinder takes more skill, but does a faster better job.

Well.... DUH!!! We have Professional Grade Buffers! My favourite is
Crystal... but Barb does a fine job as well!
