Richard bought a simple bench grinder to polish his bits to a mirror finish.
Did Richard leave his grinder standard (like I did) - oh no - he has made some really useful extras. I am off to the workshop to copy these modifications - there Richard a compliment at last :))
Here is a standard bench grinder with a wire wheel at one end and a polishing mop at the other. Or is it? What is that funny looking thing near the wire wheel?

Richard has added a flywheel and a homemade nose. The flywheel is needed to help keep the rotational speed constant when pressure is applied to the mop. And then he has added a sandpaper disk to the flywheel to flatten things out on.

Richard also added a big guard to catch the polish off the mop. I am sent for a bath/shower after polishing, no doubt Richard gets away clean. Another compliment coming Richard when I get the material.
