Hello. On behalf of Expert Villages, my name is Joe. I'm the local jeweler in Salt Lake.
I run "The Vug" local jewelry store. Today, I was going to show you my buffer. Most jewelers
generally use these buffers. What's great about them is there's a nice heavy motor to
under, hold great loads. This is a box which has a vacuum in it and a filter, which all
the dust from my buffing wheels and my sanding wheels goes back into that filter, so it doesn't
go all over my shop. This is a basic buffer. It's a dual unit here. I generally keep a
buffing wheel on one side, because I do so many rings and things. We use basic rouges,
waxes, polishing waxes. This is mainly for the outside of rings or bracelets or even
some delicate pieces you can do on this. On this side, generally is a buffing mandrel
for the inside of a ring. They do have a silicon carbide wheel here for sanding. Sometimes
I will do the outside of a shank or the side of a shank. I do use ring shells, which are
sanding shells. I can sand the inside of a ring real quick and then buff it. I can also
buff on the side of this really lightly. A great tool, very important, probably one of
the most used. Great tool to have.
