I got a deal on a big arse Baldor. All I saw was Baldor and 1.5 HP and 1800rpm, and I got it for almost nothing, literally.
Problem is, its a grinder. It has grinding stones on it and the short shaft with the guards and work light sockets. I just figured I could buy the long buffer shaft and swap it out. Seemed like a good idea.
I go to the Baldor web site and the model #1021 is listed as a grinder.
Whats the difference between the buffer and grinder? Its has the HP and the rpm I need for buffing, just not the long shaft to give me more room to move around on the wheel and parts.
Any ideas or thoughts on using a grinder as a buffer or are the they same thing just different?
