What do you think "Tim - the tool man - Taylor" would reply?
Go for the BIG ONE! ;-)
Do you remember the speed of the machine's? It has been a while
since I went through the "sfpm" speeds, but a SLOW (1750 vs. 3450)
large motor was more ideal for my needs. Usually the proffesional
machines run faster, but hey I don't use it all the time and would
rather spend a few extra minutes buffing something than have it
cut too quickly.
Eastwood has great stuff... at a high price. If I don't know WHAT
brand to get, I'll buy their products as I like good quality.
For the Baldor buffers I'd probably buy them from Enco as it is
a 'name brand' [Enco also sells some very cheap buffers... which
I'd avoid, but has good prices on quality stuff - if you know what
your are getting].
