Tommy , I keep coming back to this and wanted to ask- did you do these with wheels or laps? Hi, for the IPS I used the 220 metal wheel and a 320 SiC belt to shape them but the rest was done on my flat spinners including polishing the edges. My step of grits on the flat sides was 120/200, 400, 600, 1000, followed by AO polish on carpet on my slow-speed spinner. To be perfectly honest about it, I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of finishing flats by hand so each one probably took twice the time as I could have cabbed them. Not the Baker of course - it's solid but it would have fallen apart and ended up a 30mm blob if I had tried to dome it. It was fun as a change of pace but I probably won't do a whole lot more of it. Thanks. I was just wondering. I have a flat lap for buff tops, but I don't like using it. I have done some almost buffs on the wheels (out of necessity) before. A change of pace is always good once in a while. |

Tommy Buff top cabs or flat tops were very popular at one time and modern machinery pushed them aside. I make several thousand buff tops a year and they go very quickly.

No Bikerrandy on here turned me on to buff to cabs and how to crank em out and sell em fast. Look his threads up on them.
