Hi Barry. Use the Microcrystalline Wax Stick quite sparingly, this will give better results. You can add more if you feel necessary, which is easier than trying to remove too much! Does that help? Terry

@@chestnutproducts3097 Thank you for the speedy response. I will try that then when it arrives. I very much look forward to taking my woodcraft hobby to the next level. "Tighten the chuck up" has become my new catch phrase :)

As far as I understand it, the basic Beall system is much the same. We have Dome Buffs that fit the same mandrels and use the same compounds as the wheels; these are perfect for buffing the inside of bowls. Video coming soon!

@@ChestnutProducts OK, nice, I'll looking forward to it.

Hi Barry. I'm sorry you're disappointed with the kit. We do say in the video the mounting sizes for the Large Mandrel and the speed the wheels are rated for. All the items are available separately as well as in the kit, so there's no need to buy parts that you can't use. You should have the option to return the kit if it's not working for you. Again, I'm sorry to hear the kit isn't suitable for your needs.

@@chestnutproducts3097 I found the video after I had made the purchase. I hadn't realized my drill -and indeed any basic standard drill - turns at around 3000 rpm, twice the optimum speed. Its not something I have ever had to think about and I felt it was worth adding this information in case anyone else comes down the same path. Its worth checking your chuck max size and drill speed as this may well not work for you as a kit. Might be something that could be added to the website/product information, to educate and forewarn those who are not wise till after the event. It just says can be used with an electric drill. I will shop around for a speed controller which seems to be around £20 range. Then I can use the smaller mandrel with the corded drill. I did a work around as I had a cordless drill that was much less powerful and Max speed was 1500 rpm. I clamped it in my WORKX Jawhorse and had my son operate the trigger off and on so that I could have a go at polishing my latest creation. It did the job nicely. I'm just waiting on the Microcrystalline wax to arrive now to finish off. I'm not saying this doesn't work - it does - my project piece is gleaming. However buyers beware if you are a hobbyist with no lathe and intend using with the corded electric drill and choose the kit form. The large Mandrell most likely will not fit, and you will need a speed control device as standard corded drills are much too fast. The pads and compounds and smaller mandrel do fit and do work as they should in polishing back a final piece. I'll contact CP and see if I can send the new large Mandrell back against a credit note as I'm sure I'll be back for other things in the near future.

@@BarryM60 Thanks Barry - I'm glad you've managed to find a workaround and the results are speaking for themselves. You make some good points and we'll adjust our website text to make it clearer that it's a lathe based system primarily which can also be used on a drill (in a more limited manner). Do get in touch via email and we'll try and work something out for you. Thanks, Terry
