    Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀

    Great video Kevin, I'm trying to restore and polish a stainless resturant prep table, I started sanding with a random orbital sander, but there seems to be a coating and even the 80 grit does not seem to take it off. Any suggestions? Thanks

    • @KevincaronSculpture
      @KevincaronSculpture  6 місяців тому

      I always love a good mystery! Maybe you have a clear-coat on the stainless.. I would try a propane torch or whatever you have on hand and just try heating a little corner to see if it bubbles up. Or maybe a heat-gun instead. That's about all I got. Please let me know what you do to get this off. I have never heard of a coating like this. Thank you for watching and posting.,

    Many engineers name that 'dual action' 'planetary gearing,' because it is like a planet around a sun, going around the sun and itself. As an artist, one could sand one piece of a sculpture to a certain grit, like 80 or 220, then other pieces to high grits, say 1600, then finer into the 1000s, creating a sense of color/texture in the final sculpture. Yet a question. If you made one of your sculptures with stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, then left it outdoors, how long would the mirror finish last when exposed to weather, in a climate such as St. Louis, MO, or Kansas City? Thanks for the tips.

    • @KevincaronSculpture
      @KevincaronSculpture  2 роки тому +3

      With the proper care, cleaning and coating with a stainless polish the shine should last for 20 years minimum. If you polish it to a mirror and then use an auto clear coat it should outlast all of us!

      @@KevincaronSculpture I was gonna use 1000 rpm and put sandpaper attachments and work until I get a polish job, lithe maybe start with 200 mininim, 320 grit , 600, 1500 and last 3000 grit? Because it's deep access? Gentle weight not pushing hard, lol. The water distiller is over 300 mm deep and about 250 mm wide. I gotta admit I laughed when I read: don't know about die grinder but go for it? Lol. I pictured grinding through the heating element underneath! Lol😂👍👍👍

    Why in the world would you ever start at 80 grit I am a professional metal polisher stainless steel U Want it as smooth as possible it takes absolutely so much time to sand stainless steel you would have been much further off to start at 400 or 600 grit and work your way to a thousand and stop

      I have a single stage 2 cylinder pump feeding a 100 gallon tank. Works almost all the time. If there are 2 or 3 of us working sometimes we run out of air. When this pump dies I will replace it with a 2 cylinder 2 stage instead.

    Hi Kevin, greetings from Perth. That was really interesting. I am curious as to what sort of paper you are using. Is it a "metal only" paper or a "general " paper of some sort? Would using a paper made for timber be a waste of time?
    Thanks so much for your advice.

      Need to get to your part of Aus. some day! Had a wonderful 2 weeks in Sydney and Melbourne a couple of years ago. The paper I am using is general use paper from Home Depot. It seems to work well on most of everything I work with. The stainless does eat it up the quickest of all.

      @@KevincaronSculpture Series 200/300 Electropolish solution is 75% sulfuric acid, 25% phosphoric acid, and if that wasn't bad enough, it produces toxic metal salts as hazardous waste, specifically chromium salts. Electropolishing increases stainless's corrosion inhibition well beyond passivation, and smooths the surface layer so finely, it reduces where bacteria can hide, and is required for most food-related stainless equipment. My company does it in Kansas City.
