Budget buffing and grinding

I saw these two items at Eastwood and thought they'd be great for small shops and small budgets;

The grinder is good for edges and the buffer could do some sanding with the cloth wheel if you cut out a disk from sanding paper.

Even cheaper;

Don't forget to wear a particulate mask when sanding/grinding. You can get them at hardware stores.

This is what I use:

$149.00 1 1/2 Hp. 5/8" shaft. Plenty of power. The 8" wheels work great.
The shaft threads fit the tools on the right angle grinder too.
You might look in Harbor Freight for one like it for less money.

Happy hunting,
