old trim ??????

[Jim Nilsen]

I put my Dewalt 18 volt cordless drill on high speed in my vise and use it to polish my trim. You can put a cone with a madrel in the chuck very easily and do most of it and use a wheel if you want to. The advantage to using the drill is that it will be at the 1400 rpm that is best for buffing and the best thing is the clutch ,if you snag the piece it will stop the buffing wheel or cone in an instant and not mess up the trim or make it fly out of your hand. Just set the clutch for the amount of grip up you need, this had proven to be very useful on a few pieces and especially when buffing up bumper bolts and regular bolts along with emblems.

Once I tried it I haven't even used the sander /buffer that I bought specifically for buffing. When I have to do a large piece that is flat I would probably get out the big one.

buffing supplies will cost you about $60 to $80 and will do alot of trim.
