Burnishing Polishing Machine, ZFE 1200W 110V Burnishing Polishing Machine Polisher/Sander Set with 4PCS Non-woven Burnishing Wheels (80# 120# 240# 360#) for Metal and Stainless Steel Polishing

Takes some getting used to but gets the job done rather quickly and with less work. Leaves surface prepped rather neatly. Great tool for removing large amounts of surface rust in short time.

Working with stainless sheet metal or stainless surfaces sometimes requires removal of tool marks, or leaving a finish that can be exposed that is visually appealing. I struggled for sometime to achieve this, i had attempted using a standard grinder which of course leaves circular pattern finishes (this may be acceptable in some cases). In larger surfaces this tool will leave the same finish as a stainless fridge door as a reference. Clean and easy on the eyes.PLEASE note: It will take some effort if the stainless is gouged, scratched, or marked too heavily. My advice use a grinder with a sand pad (120 grit or better) and remove ALL surface blemishes, then use this tool. Great product which can add that final tough to your parts.

You're getting a basic Asian clone of a tool that originally sold for $300 and up. There are NO instructions in the booklet that comes with it although there is a parts diagram. It doesn't match the model I received. The top handle attaches to the shield, there is no other bracket for it. The booklet is very ESL and mostly contains warnings about not killing yourself with the tool. Most buyers will have no trouble assembling it just by looking at the parts. Nice long cord. The roller wheel to protect the work from the shield can be installed on front or back. This can use drums with 2 slots or keyways or 4. It comes with 4 drums that have 4 slots. They are not labeled. It has a soft start control, meaning it ramps up to the set speed rather than all at once when you pull the trigger. There is a trigger lock. It also has a spindle lock. You get 2 square keys to install in the shaft to hold the drum. They fall out when you change drums. I plan to dimple the shaft with a punch so they stay put. All the screws were tight and I tested it removing paint from a car fender. Works OK so it should last until the bearings or gears wear out. That can be months or years with imports like this. I've had great luck for the most part so I will recommend this over the expensive alternatives. It would strip paint better with an interleaved flap wheel drum. If you plan to use this for auto work, buy some flap drums at the same time.

I recently added metal fabrication to my shop and looked at several machines for cleaning rust and scale from metal. This is a heavy-duty machine and gets the job done quickly and easily. So far, I have only used it to burnish metal before welding, but it came with brushes for polishing, and I think that along with buffing wheels will meet all my needs. This machine is a little on the heavier side, but it has plenty of power and enough heft to get the job done.

I bought this item for restoring a pickup. Tool is very heavy to use very long at a time. Between the 11 pound weight and the force of the brush pulling on it, difficult to use for very long at a time. As others mentioned, brushes are not marked as to what grit they are. I chose what I thought was the roughest brush to strip old paint and primer from a truck cab. It created a lot of dust and removed rust but did not strip the paint. It could be the brush wasn’t a rough enough texture but was disappointed I couldn’t get to bare metal. I tried 2 different disks and neither did what I wanted. Fills air with dust so be sure to wear a mask to protect your lungs. The actual machine itself seemed to perform well with no bogging down.

I used the burnishing machine for a few months and the gears started stripping and would not work with any pressure being applied to the wheel. I contacted customer support to help with a replacement or repair since they offer a 1-year warranty and they asked me to go and buy replacement parts to fix it myself. They would not offer a replacement or repair, so their warranty is useless. Don't buy this part if you plan to use it for long. I've gone through 3 of these in the past two years and they always fail. Save yourself time and invest in a better quality burnishing machine.

This beast is all there! Feels very solid. It’s variable speed drive! Will test it on my 71’ C10 Chevrolet restore!!! I’m anxious to try it. Comes with an extra set of brushes so I’m hoping they just did that so you’ll have the extra and not because they’re eating up the brushes!! So far so good
