I bought this..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bench-Grinder-Polisher-350w-6-General-Purpose-Metal-Polishing-Kit-TZBG-6002-/281625045051

And this to get into the hard areas ..

But..
Having a few issues with this machine..
I gets hot with continuous use and just applying the compound blocks to the polishing wheel its enough to stop the momentum and stall the machine.
Even too much pressure when polishing this frame it stops and gets a humming sound.
Its ok from the start as it will not stall but after a hour or so using it for a long time it gets hot then stalls ..
Have any of you guys had this issue before as to be honest a hour of continuous use its going to get hot and possibly a fail safe built into it..
Or its shite  :LolLolLolLol:

Cracking job :4_17_5:
That machine ain't cut out for it long term. I have a bench grinder with a mop mounted on one side. It's much more powerful but will still slow down if I go at it too hard. Never stopped it or heard the motor humming though

factory pilot:
Great job Ady!
Andy and I spent the other night working on my aero pro in a similar fashion .. You've done it proud fella! It's well worth all the effort mate :daumenhoch:

This is the sort of thing I have, was about 40 quid from b&q years ago. Just removed the right hand wheel, shields and guard and fitted a mop cone :daumenhoch:



how long did it take you to get clean :LolLolLolLol:
