Another craigslist purchase.

Not a bad score. Yeah, it's made in the Peoples Republic but for the price and the amount of time it's gonna be used, I don't care! Dayton 8", 3/4 hp buffer with all the polishing compounds shown for $65. This one was lightly used. The PO bought it and polished a few pieces of cabinet hardware then put it away. I've seen these retail in the $180 range. I always wanted a dedicated buffer! Now I gotta build a stand.

Nice, I would love to have a dedicated polishing set up. Shine something up and post a pick, I want to see a mirror finish.

 

[SouthCoastMudder]

I would have bought it too, especially since it was 189 at grainger and looks brand new.

Not a bad score. Yeah, it's made in the Peoples Republic ...

Nice deal.

But it's made in the "Republic of China" (Taiwan), not the "People's Republic"(China). That makes it even better!

I picked up one just like that recently myself. Made in Taiwan in 1991.

I have been looking for one like that for a long time. Nice score.

 

[Major Ramifications]

Good deal. I have been wanting a buffer, but would not use it enough to justify a new one.

 

[Rolling_Thunder]

Very good Score! I want one like that sooner or later. Right now I use my 8" craftsman unit one side has a dedicated grinding wheel the other side goes between a Wire Wheel and a Polishing wheel!

I ordered one from Northern for $70ish. I am rebuilding an old Honda motorcycle with my son and we are polishing up all the aluminum parts. I find it very therapeutic to watch an ugly piece of metal turn pretty. Have fun with your new machine!

I have one exactly like it and have had it for 10 years works just a little small for big jobs.
