Absolutely Brilliant. I'm a stickler for polishing techniques and methods. I will say your technique and method is a first for me. I now want to go and polish my 95 Bronco wheels. I especially like the engine stand mod. It's really cool. Maybe you have a friend who's good with electric motors and attach it to your rig. I'm blown away.
@brackishindustries2 ай бұрын
Thank you! Although I personally have not tried an electric motors, I can say I have a few friends who build wheel stands with a belt drive for an electric motor and all of them have unhooked the motor and run the wheel free spinning just as I do in this video. It is a great idea but the challenge is that I'm constantly stopping and starting the wheel and changing the wheels turning pace as I'm working. With the Rope/foot brake, I don't need to stop working and change a dial to get the wheel to speed up or slow down whereas with an electric motor and a variable speed switch I'd be stopping constantly to modify speed

Wow! What a Great Video! I'm getting ready to polish my original 79 Vette Aluminum slotted rims and they have a lot of tooling / maching marks. I've tried the abrasive balls but it doesn't do the trick. I saw here that you show the smaller Bauer Grinder with the flexible backing plate and I'm thinking this may be the way to get rid of those marks as i'm going around the wheel and between the slots The only thing is that the Bauer I found only comes in 5/16-24 thread and feel that the arbor being 5/16 may not be able to handle all the sanding I need to do meaning it might break off or something. I thought these grinders all came with a 5/8 thread. I saw the flex plates were available on Amazon. Do you recommend to a newbie like me the That small Bauer with the Flex Plate? Can you provide the Model Number? Thanks!
@brackishindustries3 ай бұрын
The bauer you saw me referring to is a model #1814E-B (i removed the plastic handle from the head) and you go on Amazon and copy and paste: TORQ BUFLC201 R5 Dual-Action Backing Plate with Hyper Flex Technology, Red (5 Inch you will find the exact backing plate I'm using. Keep in mind that is NOT a rotary machine is is a dual action paint polisher. Rotary machines use a 5/8 thread and paint polishers use a 5/16 as you mentioned. These machines work great with a wide barreled wheel like the 14 wide weld in this video. The problem is because they throw and they spin at the same time, they bump edges alot and don't do well with skinny barrels or anywhere where there's a transition or lip. Without seeing your wheel I can't advise. DM me pictures on Instagram @deanryan0899 if you'd like me to take a look and advise accordingly on how to address your wheels

How do you feel about sanding lips of wheels ? (3pc Work wheels) I’ve heard you don’t wanna sand the lip too much . Is there any issues when it comes to sanding wheels too much and making the material/ lip to thin?
@brackishindustries5 ай бұрын
I haven't worked with work wheels specifically but I have done plenty of CCW in the past which appear to have similar lips. Sanding these lips can be difficult because there's not much lip/barrel to fit a sander in and make it look right. If I were you I would try to cut he heck out of the lip and avoid sanding at all costs (because if you make defects by accident there's really no fixing them without completely taking the wheel apart and screwing the outer barrel to a board and polishing them that way. Also, if your renters are painted, powdercoated, or anything other than raw aluminum, I would create a tape buffer at the outer portion of the spoke where it meets the barrel if you're machine polishing them like I did in this video. My preferred method is to put painters tape over the spoke where the buff might hit it, then duct tape over the painters tape, then painters tape over the duct tape electives making a painters, duct, painters tape sandwich. This is the best way to give yourself Insurance of not accidentally hitting the coating and removing it, but also taking the tape back off without lifting g the coating. Hope that helps

Thanks! The part of the video around the time I start cutting the rivets around the outer lip is exactly how I would do the rivets on eneki blades, depending on the severity I might try and attack the the same way you see me cutting the lug pad (the wheel on its back on the ground and firmly holding the buffer with your hands and the wheel with your feet using the "grip and rip" method once all the way around the wheel moving your body around the wheel clockwise positioning the buffer at 9oclock going all the way around, then repeat going counter clockwise with the buffer at 3oclock again going all the way around so that both sides of your rivets have been polished

The problem with this method is getting the material so hot. Causing waves in the material which in turn, causes distortion. Just my 2 cents.

This is absolutely true with regard to flat stainless. Very difficult to get enough heat to polish it but not enough to warp it. Since we did this project I've done a few other stainless pieces that did not warp as bad but this one was definitely one of the most difficult

@brackishindustries8 ай бұрын
Thank you! No I don't; The menzerna compounds have natural sealants in them last several months if not more than a year if well maintained. I've tried shark hide, clear powder coat, wax, ceramic coating, and a few other protectants that I'm probably forgetting to mention. All of which will add surface protection but at the cost of clarity of the wheel. Right now you can read the serial number in the reflection of a $100 bill clear as day, once one of these protective coatings is applied, That seem reflection gets much more blurry. Not saying some people might be okay with that but my preference is to have as much of that deep rich reflective clarity as I can get

I'm looking to mirror polish some knives and was wondering, would using the electric polishers by hand like you are doing be safer than using a stationary buffing machine? I worry about catching an edge while holding the knife and it shooting out of my hand.
@brackishindustries9 ай бұрын
In my opinion the best way to go about polishing a knife blade would be to find a way to either clamp the blade in an area that won't be seen and begin polishing or If there is holes in it to fasten the handle to it, screw those holes into a piece of plywood and polish the blade while it's on the plywood. You don't want to take a chance on catching an edge and sending it flying. Something else to keep in mind is spectrum Alberta sells mini buffs that are about 5 in in diameter maybe six, either way these would be far better suited for doing something as small as a knife blade compared to the 10-in buffs that you see me using
