Metal polishing difference between 3,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm with Evan's Detailing and Polishing

  • Evan from Evan's detailing and polishing and Casey from Casey's Detailing and Polishing break down the difference in polishing with a 3,000 rpm buffer and a 6,000 rpm grinder. As you will see in the video the 3,000 rpm buffer takes longer to build up heat and and get the shine to lay down. With the 6,000 rpm grinder you can move much quicker and build heat much faster and get more done. Polishing at higher speed will also use less compound. Thus saving you time and money. But polishing with 6,000 rpm does have its risks. Polishing at that speed on aluminum can burn your aluminum if you move too slow or overheat an area by working it. 3,000 rpm is far more forgiving but does take more time and requires more materials to accomplish the same job. In the finish of the video you will see a slight difference in depth of the shine. The clarity and hashmarks are about the same level but the depth is a little better in the higher heat of the 6,000 rpm grinder. Thank you for watching. I hope you find these videos helpful. Of course remember that spinning at 3,000 rpm is much safer and softer buffs should never be spun faster than 2500 rpm.

    great video that’s for explaining this . i have seen the the buffing wheels say max 3000 rpm is that still safe to use in a 6000rpm grinder or do you have to use buffing wheels that say 6000rpm ?

    • @EvanStegerMetalPolishing
      @EvanStegerMetalPolishing  Місяць тому

      No buffing wheels are made to run at 6,000. It isn't safe but we risk it based on the speed we can accomplish shine and the quality we can achieve in a hurry.

    • @RDubya146

      ​@@aspavingllc8302 I would sincerely recommend starting with the 3500 rpm variable as a beginner until you have a solid understanding of technique, when and how to apply/reapply your compounds, and how to approach different surfaces/corners/edges. Even with the 3500 rpm grinder you can really mess yourself, your work piece, or your equipment up if you catch an edge wrong and aren't prepared for it. Plus you're taking more material off quicker so mistakes are amplified. Not to mention you can't really do a full start to finish polish with multiple stages on the 6k grinder. You need lower rpms for your finishing stages. You can cut with the variable, but you can't use a softer airway/buff at 6k lol it'll tear itself to bits.
      not sure if you're still looking for this answer but 👍🏽👍🏽

    Evan, a question: These airway buffs you and the industry uses to polish metal; can they be attached to either an angle grinder or a rotary polishing machine? What kind of adapters are needed depending on which machine if both are doable?
    If those buffs are made in 8, 9, 10 & 12 inch diameters, what's the minimum size angle grinder one can buy? Because if the shroud can be removed, I'm not sure where the limit lies. Most angle grinders are 4 1/2", then 6", and 7/9". But I believe that's all about that half-circle shroud.

    • @EvanStegerMetalPolishing
      @EvanStegerMetalPolishing  3 роки тому +11

      4-6" grinders spin way too fast and can become deadly. I use all 7" or 9" grinders. I recommend beginners start with 7" variable speed 3500 rpm buffers. Then if you get comfortable or want to upgrade go with the 7" or 9" 6000 rpm grinder. I use all 9" buffing pads as it is the least amount of wear and tear on my grinders but that is a preference issue. Many polishers use 10" buffs because they last longer and better bang for your buck but I don't like how bulky they are. My own personal preference really. Up to you which way you are comfortable going.

  • @Soldier1287

    What if i put a speed controller to my grinder to slow it down? It can go pretty slow now with the speed controller. About these speeds, too.
    I also tried buffing a steel scrap piece with a drill with buff wheel attachments. On the other side of the piece, I sanded by hand and the hit it with the airways on my grinder with a speed controller. But it looked nothing like this.
    I even cleaned the surface off between grits and compounds with rubbing alcohol. I stopped at 1,200 grit.
    On the buff wheel side, After sanding in overlapping lines with a drill pad sander attachment with foam interface pad in between, I stopped at 2,000 grit. (I read that ideal grit for steel is to stop at 1.2k to 2k grit) Looked good until I started with the compounds. I started with black, then brown, then purple, then white, and finally blue. It got shiny, but it left “smudge” marks. Looks like smudges. I even cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol between compounds and i had a separate buff wheel for each compound.
    I don’t know if my rpms were too high, or what. The drill tops out at 3,000 rpms, which I read is the max ideal rpms for compounds too. Airways are a Sam Wo amazon airway kit. The kit says to hit with brown and blue wheel, purple and orange wheel, white with white wheel, and blue with flannel wheel.

    I wish I could share a picture but I'm dumb lol. First time buffing with zephyr airways my tanks and wheels looked great. I sanded and did the 3 stage. Last weekend I started on my dumpbed and boy it looks horrible. It was in the 40's so kinda cold. I tried the wheels first and it wasnt cutting so I sanded 320, 400, 600 then tried to polish. My whole bed looks like it has black tiger stripes all over it. After this video I'm thinking maybe it was to cold and i was going to fast but I'm not sure. Gonna try again with a 6000rpm grinder before I spray it with acid and leave it white till I can get it to a pro lol.

      If your food is sticking to a stainless pan more after it gets old it means you are not cleaning it properly. If you are needing less stickage, heat a high heat oil in the pan, just enough to coat the bottom entirely, till it barely smokes, then wipe it out with a paper towel. You’ll now have a stick resistant stainless steel pan. Polishing will do nothing but make it stick more.

    Love the videos, makes me want to get a 6000rpm grinder. Why do you recommend 3000 rpm for beginners. Is it a personal safety thing or do you run a risk of damaging the workpiece with the 6000?

    • @EvanStegerMetalPolishing
      @EvanStegerMetalPolishing  4 роки тому +8

      It is definitely a safety concern. At 6,000 rpm things happen very fast and if you aren't ready you can get hurt very badly. I've seen far too many very nasty accidents from people running 6,000 rpm and not ready for the possible consequences. On top of that you can do damage to the metal if you aren't careful. Airway buffs are only made to spin 3500 rpm or less.

    So what rpm would be suitable to use when polishing aluminum wheels? Using zephyr compunds.

    • @EvanStegerMetalPolishing
      @EvanStegerMetalPolishing  4 роки тому +2

      zephyr compounds are same as all other compounds in the fact that speed is relative to the way that you polish. You can use anything from slow speed to high speed. Just need to adjust speed and pressure in regards to how you do it.

      @@chicagobearsfan5026 Absolutely not. 11,000 is way too fast. I've seen some nasty pics of polishers losing fingers and tearing tendons off from going that fast. Buffs are only rated for 3500 rpm max. Even the 6,000 rpm buffers carry a lot of risk.

    so if its faster to use a higher rpm why are bench buffers lower rpms than bench grinders?

    • @EvanStegerMetalPolishing
      @EvanStegerMetalPolishing  3 роки тому +1

      Bench grinders are different since you are taking the part to buffer instead of the buffer to the part. Bench buffers build more heat and usually use 12-14" buffs instead of 9" buffs. Bigger buffs create faster wheel speed. The edge of the buff is spinning faster at the edge than it is at the center. Hope this makes sense.
