Do either one of those buffers have way to lock the arbor in place to change wheels cause the one, I have I have to hold the shaft with a grip pliers
Like I said it works for me. At least on my buffer the nuts just need to be a firm snug.with the clockwise / counter clockwise threads it got to be a pain
I think when I was just trying to use the side with the CCW thread alone by itself
Good place to use an impact wrench.Do either one of those buffers have way to lock the arbor in place to change wheels cause the one, I have I have to hold the shaft with a grip pliers
I should have said I'm using 400 grit wet and dry, probably should try some 320 first if I had it. I've just tried a final finishing wheel with green compound and can get a really good mirror like shine but the scratches left by the wheel are still evident if looking closely, I think I'd spend a long time getting them out.
My buffer has flats machined into the shaft do you can hold it with a wrench when loosening and tightening the nuts.Do either one of those buffers have way to lock the arbor in place to change wheels cause the one, I have I have to hold the shaft with a grip pliers
What? i just grab the spindle with my hand and I've got fused fingers and no elbow joint. Hmmm, maybe that's why I have fused fingers and no elbow joint!Yep, that's what I have to do as well, grab the shaft with vice-grips.
Wow look at the space shuttle controls you have to control that beast!View attachment 235124
RH side has a nut, LH has a tapered thread which is rather handy, quick and esy to change mops. Cuz it's got the power I tend to stack and run double disks on each side. There's a 1/3 HP VFD fed buffer on the stand below this one.
I'm big on buying 3 phase equipment on the cheap and powering it with a VFD run from 220 single phase. There's two VFDs one for each buffer. They DO have a lot of programable functions, few of them needed for a simple motor like this. Bonus; they have a dial that lets you control the speed.Wow look at the space shuttle controls you have to control that beast!
" My buffer has flats machined into the shaft"My buffer has flats machined into the shaft do you can hold it with a wrench when loosening and tightening the nuts.
Here‘s my rig. It normally hangs from the collar ties in the garage and I clamp it in a Black and Decker Workmate when needed. Saves space this way and the Workmate is quite stable.

Just thinking (and I don’t do much of that), if you get the appropriately sized shaft collar, you could mill or grind flats on the collar then install it on the shaft. Only one would be needed. They you could hold the shaft with a wrench." My buffer has flats machined into the shaft"
Even that would be helpfull !
