Can anyone tell me whether my 1750 rpm sander will work for high grit wetsanding and polishing? Are higher rpms (6000) needed for a good polish, or will my 1750 be enough? And finally, wetsand to 600(?) then work through 2 compounds? Thank you for your help- connor

Thank you for your help- connor… …well you shouldn’t overheat the board’s surface,least ways.You really need a sander/polisher of speeds of at least 3000 rpm.If you’re just doing one or two boards once in awhile it will work,but it will go slow…which sometimes ,for some people that a better choice anyway.Herb.

Shurlustre is a good compound to use. Your materials supplier should carry it
