I bought it because it's not a single-speed buffer but variable speed, and well, it's cheap at 100 Bucks (I got it on sale it's normally 125) right now. So i am hoping someone has some buffing safety videos. also looking for tips for both Jewlery and steel polishing as i despite its small size i hope to use it to bring out some Hamons. I do trust Pepetools as I got my electro-melt furnace...but I know very little about what makes a good buffer for this, and the price tag makes me hesitate a little given the horror story that float around about this tool. here is a link to it
That should work for most of your jewelry and knife fittings, but 8K RPM is pretty fast. Start out below 50% and see how it goes.
Buffing does not bring out a hamon. In fact it will eliminate it.

I will be very careful with it to get that goldy locks speed.

Actually, using this technique (see link), brings them out in fantastic fashion (see included picture)
It shows a good demarcation line, but little to no activity typical in a really well done Hamon.

And I'm not considered "good" at this yet.

Just seeing these alerts as i have been out of it for the last 2 months after having e
What steel did you use? as i believe One of the reasons for the more Bla appearance of mine is because i used Hitachi Blue/1084 and i have been told 1084 is not the best Hamon steel...and i also did not do the most dynamic pattern i could...on the other hand the buffer works great this at probally 900RPM (i dont have a gage to measure RPM ) and well not near the the handle because i did not remove the handle. it polished it to a mirror. (i did not do a new blade because i have not had a chance to forge the last two months because i have been on rest after emergency abdomal surgery in may (i was actually still recovering in the hospital when i posted this)and i am falling some restrictions well i recover....hoping to get back in the forge at the end of July and pounding out some blades before i go back under the knife in October or November.
