Well I just did my 1st polish a few days ago so i had the stuff for my next one, so tonight i decided whats under that megapax2 slipon paint, so I went at it and came up with this... I'm very happy for the fact that it took about 1 hour instead of last one-14 hours total...:rolleyes: :D

I got somethin like that in the garage i use for polishin lil parts. My dad has 3 or 4 polishers at work that ill polish cases and bigger parts pretty good but most the time we just send our whole engine to my dads friend to polish it. Turns out great with so little hassle. I love the bench polishers it gets rid of so much hassle:)

What does a bench grinder/polisher look like?

ummmm...... I cant take a pic right now but mine is prolly about 3 feet tall and it has one wide post coming up then at the top it goes both ways. The grinder is on the left and the polisher is on the right. Kinda like a big T and there is the polisher on one side and a grinder on the other.
Im sure there are different kinds but that is how mine is.
