                                                                                 Buffing Compounds

Colour ---------- Polishing and Buffing Compound.
Black ------------ Black Magic, Emery Base, Heavy Cut.
Grey ------------- Aluminum Oxide, Course Cut on Stainless, (Black and Grey are heavy cut compounds used for regular steel, stainless & softer metals. Ideally suited to remove small scratches after sanding, or to cut through light wax or oxide build-ups).
Brown ------------ Medium to fine cut, greasy
White -------------- 96 Stainless, White Diamond, Medium cut, Finish compound on stainless.
Green --------------- Polish, Final Colouring on Aluminum, Brass, Copper & Stainless requiring High Luster (Brown and Green are used for regular steel, stainless & softer metals. Ideally suited for use after black or grey has started to bring up the finish. Sometimes this finish is adequate as a final buffing.)
Red Rouge ----------- Jeweler's Rouge, very fine, high polish, mirror finish (Used for glass, plastic & soft metals. Ideal for chrome mirror finish on aluminum.)
Super-Bright ----------- White, very high luster, dry bight finish, (also scratch removal on glass & some plastics.)
Translucent Tan ------- Excellent for chrome & other electro-plated parts, mirror finish, very light cut with soft buff. (Good for chrome only.)
Tan ---------------------- For wood and plastic polishing

Generally the greasier the bar, the more the cut and the drier the bar, the greater the polishing action. The abrasive cutting ability of each colour may vary from one bar to another.

Generally you should never use more than one compound on a buffing wheel unless you thoroughly clean the wheel first. Otherwise the first compound will still be the active one. You can clean or prepare a wheel by spinning it ( always away from you), and vigorously rubbing buff with a rasp, file or a special buffing wheel rake. With a new wheel, threads will fly off and the work surface will become soft. With a used wheel compound will be cleaned out and be ready for the next colour compound.

Generally you should choose a linen wheel for heavy/course buffing, a cotton wheel for polishing and a flannel wheel for waxes etc.

How to Apply Compound
Spin the buffing wheel (always rotating the wheel away from the edge to be buffed) and rub compound on the edge of the wheel. The friction caused from the wheel spinning will allow the compound to melt onto the wheel. For final polishing use compound sparingly and buff with very light pressure. Too much compound will cause the work to look cloudy.

We can supply on order any of the above compounds in two sizes of bars.
Full size bars approximately 2
1/2 - 3 lb. bars at $15.00 Can. each.
Or the small hobby size bars shown below, 5 - 6 oz. bars at
$4.00 Can. each

 What makes the ONEWAY Buffing System better than other buffers? Our buffer is not cut from discs of cloth and stacked up like a bunch of donuts, instead it is cut from a long strip of cloth that is cut on the bias. This long strip is then wrapped and mounted on an arbour. The end result is that each long thread is bound to the central hub. With this system, threads don't get flung from the buffer, so it lasts longer.
The unique puckered face also buffs better.

ONEWAY's Buffing Kit comes with a firm wheel, a medium
wheel and a soft wheel. Also included are two buffing
compounds: white diamond compound, Tripoli, and a hard finishing wax. There is an arbour in the kit that fits a 3/8 drill chuck so you can use the buffer in either your lathe or drill press. Buffing is fast, simple and effective - what more could you want?

Above individual components available separately 

Oneway® BUFFING SYSTEM
High gloss finishes usually involve lots of sanding, foul smelling sprays, and time resulting in finished pieces that
make the wood look like plastic. In the past, if you didn't want to put up with these problems you couldn't get a high gloss. The ONEWAY Buffing System can help you get the high gloss you want while using your favourite oil based finish.
Simply finish your project the way you normally would, let the finish cure and then buff. Buffing is fast, simple and above all does an amazing job. No matter how good your shape, or how nice the wood you used, if it isn't finished well, you won't be happy. Buffing an oil finish keeps all the advantages of oil finishes but adds the benefit of high gloss and an ultra smooth feel.

  Hook and Loop Conversion
Tips from Nick
To replace worn out Hook & Loop Pad
Remove worn Hook & Loop Disc Pad. When old disc is removed, wash pad with lacquer thinner before applying new pad.
If disc will not come off backing pad, you can use a razor blade scraper and scrape the little black hooks off the pad and sand it smooth. Wash pad with lacquer thinner and apply new disc.
To use the conversion on your 1/4 sheet palm sander.
Simply clip the conversion into your sander as you did the sandpaper and cut a piece of our specialty 41/2" stearate coated sandpaper from a roll listed further down on this page.

Sanding Mops

We will continue to offer these after we close the store


The "Sanding Mop" is one of the most useful sanding tools that you can own.
It is made from strips of Klingspor's best stearate coated, extremely flexible cloth.
This gold coloured aluminum oxide abrasive grit is designed for metal or woodworking, stearate coated so it won't plug or heat up, glued to a double woven Egyptian cloth for the best flexibility and the longest wear available.
If you are a woodworker and you do any sanding on contour edges or irregular surfaces, the "Sanding Mop" is the product for you!! This great product sands some of the most difficult to sand surfaces such as wood moldings, raised panel doors, carvings, bowls, furniture legs and when restoring antique furniture to name a few.
Sand shapes without loosing details and sharpness of edges.
The "Sanding Mop" can be mounted in a drill press or in a chuck/arbor mounted on an electric motor.
The 4" mop can also be used with a hand held electric drill.
You can also use these mop refills on one of the above motor arbors. Use 2 sets of spacer washers and all 48 sanding strips to make a really wide, soft buff for sanding larger profiles.
*Note. As with all our mop sanders you should break your sander in by holding it against a piece of scrap wood before using it to sand.
 

The "Sanding Mop" can be used soft as shown above with spacer washer separating pairs of abrasive strips for sanding bowls, gabriolet furniture legs or other round surfaces.
 

"The Sanding Mop" can be used stacked dense with or without stabilizer discs for sanding long concave surfaces such as moldings.
 Some Tips for use the "Sanding Mop"
Too slow a drill speed will shorten the life of your mop.
You will gain many hours of use by spinning your mop at 2000 rpm or more.
Let the mop do the work!

Nick's New Moulding Sander

We have just finished developing our NEW Moulding Sander. Using our proven mop sander technology we have just introduced our version of the moulding sander using four 220 grit mop refills on our exclusive spindle. By passing a moulding through under the spinning mop you will obtain a finish ready for stain application or clear finish. Use it between coats to speed up your finishing process. You can add a courser refill on the right outboard for touching up rough spots or for mop sanding other iregular shaped objects. This machine comes assembled as shown below, will require a good 3/4 hp motor at 1725 rpm. A 3" motor pulley is included with the package. The sanding head raises and lowers according to need by operating the hand crank.
Frame is all 1" square tube and welded steel construction. The plywood base shown is not included. Just mount it on a bench or stand with motor hung below, add a suitable belt and you are ready to go. You won't believe how well this works. Be sure to add a suitable guard over the belt.

MLD-SAND : Moulding Sander
The price of this complete sanding unit is $400.00 Can.
or
$435.00 Can. with an extra mop refill of your choice for outboard use.

Included in the package is the spindle, bearings, pulleys, spacers, flange washers,
stabilizers, nuts, frame completely assembled with 4 mop refills installed.

   

 
Nick's New Drum
Surface Sander Kit

We will continue to offer these after we close the store.

18" drum sander

Over the past year we have developed a super new
surface sander utilizing an 18" Velcro® covered drum that uses
looped paper spiral wound around it.
This machine requires only a 1/4 or 1/3 HP motor and paper
only costs about $1.00 per refill.
This machine can not only surface sand long flat pieces
but also edges and is just the ticket for finishing off those
pins on dovetails and box joints to perfection.
All sanding dust is contained in a drawer below the drum
and can easily be dumped.

We offer a kit containing the Velcro® drum, a set of plans

 Nick's New 30" Surface Sander
   

24" and 30" Surface Sander

Here at last is the new 30" Surface Sander that we have designed. We have had many requests for this machine and are pleased to be able to offer you the plans for this machine now. We have developed a plan for the machine shown above which we built for our show demos and found that people were very interested in it. Sold several as we were perfecting our machine and we are now ready to go.
However we do not put together quite as comprehensive a package for it as we do for the 18" surface sander kit.
First the 30" requires a 11/2 hp 1725 rpm motor. This should be a totally enclosed fan cooled model. Since these come in a variety of shaft sizes and frames it is not possible to include such things as pulleys and belt etc. And although we have a plan many people build the machine to fit in with existing benches or machinery in their shop. However the skeleton construction can still be used as we offer it.

A 24" drum is also available and the 30" plan can be used to build it as well. Just reduce the length of all your parts appropriately.

*New Improved 24" and 30" Drums*
I am told that the current drums being produced both 24" and 30" are better balanced and accurately machined thus requiring less power to drive. Depending on the grit of paper used, you may be able to get away with a 1 hp motor or less.

The plan is $15.00 Can. The drum, bearings and paper are as listed above. The 30" drum is $215.00 Can. The 24" drum is $185.00 Can. The bearings $35.00 Can. for the pair. and the paper is $42.95 Can. per roll of 25 yards. 60 grit $46.95 per roll. The top is constructed somewhat different than with the small one and several methods are suggested in the plan.

We suggest a 48" length of T track for holding the fences at $16.00 Can. and a pack of four 1/4" star knobs with bolts for securing the fence at $6.50 Can. We can also supply a 31/2" balanced steel Browning pulley for $22.50 Can. to fit the drum shaft. We recommend about a 23/4" pulley for the motor.

Above you have a couple of pictures of the model we built which has had a couple of small modifications that experience dictated since these pictures but basically remains the same.

 

 24" and 30" Drums

Besides our 30" Drum we now also have a new 24" Drum

DRUM-24" Drum only - $185.00 Can.
DRUM-30"
Drum only - $215.00 Can.

5/8" Cast Iron pillow blocks for 24" & 30" drum
5/8-BRNG - $35.00 pair

   24" Sanding Drum

You will notice that the 24" sanding drum has a
somewhat extended shaft on one end.
This was done so that those who wish to, can add
such attachments as you see shown to the left here.
You will find these listed separately above.
The 24" drum sander can be constructed
similar to the 30" shown above or according
to your own design.

The 24" sander is much more aggressive than the
18" drum sander and is therefore very suitable
for small production shops.
It will require a 1HP motor at 1725 rpm for minimum
power and running on 220V, or a 11/2HP on 110V
for best results.
Motor speed should be 1725 rpm.
