I received this buffer as a gift. I cannot express to anyone who hasn't seen this machine running the smoothness of this unit. It is so unbelievably quiet and vibration-free. The quality sticks out all over it. The shafts are heavy and smooth. The unit is heavy-duty, well-finished, and powerful.

This is typical Baldor quality, and if you've ever had any experience with Baldor motors or grinders, that says all you need to know. These units are US-built (Fort Smith, Arkansas). That's real important down the road (in case you ever need service or parts). But... the way this machine runs... I don't anticipate needing either service or parts!

The 1800 rpm is nice. The edge of an 8" buffing wheel travelling at 1800 rpm is really zipping by. I'd be uncomfortable with the 3400 rpm model (because I'd be afraid it'd heat the buffing compound too much). Once you see this machine running, you'll know what I mean.

This is a machine you could use day-in, day-out, and still get a lifetime's worth of use from it. Unbelievably fine quality!

I have been using this buffer for about 3 years now in our manufacturing plant, on a daily basis for the most part, and there isn't a finer buffer out there. Not only do I use it to polish and de-burr sewing machine parts, but my hobby is restoring old slot machines, cash registers, and video games, and it has made short work of everything I've thrown at it. Buy this one first-It'll be the last one you'll ever buy.

This review is mostly for Amazon. I have been using Baldor buffers for years and have come to expect a certain level of quality. This buffer is no different. Smooth and quiet and no complaints after being used every day under heavy loads. But, Amazon gets the 5 stars here. I ordered this buffer on a Saturday afternoon via phone, used the free super saver shipping because I was in no hurry for it, and lo and behold, the following Tuesday morning it arrived. Wow! Great job to Amazon and FedEx.

Humming along under heavy use for a couple years now. Smooth, quiet, powerful, and a heck of a deal.
