The nut was threaded so I likely put a bolt in it to polish.
I have a Harbor Freight 6″ buffer. I was on sale for $40.00
at the time. For that price I thought it was worth a try.
It struggles with a 4” wheel when polishing aluminum.
You really have to lay into aluminum to get to the mirror
finish. It gets smoken hot but it has held up. It was worth
what I paid. Not the $70.00 their asking, if that is the
same as I have? Could be better. Could be worse.
You just don’t know. I haven’t bought much there. I did
get a 2 ton aluminum floor jack that I can’t say anything
bad about. There is some stuff on dents and getting the
metal straight, but there old and too long. I plan on making
a new one at some point. Check You Tube for videos on
polishing and removing dent’s from motorcycle gas tanks.
Tubs.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
