dynabrade buffer 49440

yes looks like there are a few double ended male adapters there which is probably what you would need
 
most all drimel tools are 1/4 thread . there are tons of polishing acc for them. i dont remember where i got the 1/4-5/16 adapter i have . maybe mcmaster carr or graingers . amazon may have them .
 
thanks shine. if i decide to go with the acat that @Mustang408 posted then ill look at mcmaster for the adapter or ill just buy the 3m backup pad kit that was posted. it is certainly less expensive than the dynabrade and looks to have the same size head on it. its geared down a little more so sort of on the slow side but the torque is probably alot more because of that. i think it would still work fine and be even more controllable.
 
after looking into this a bit more, it seems like these are very popular as drills in the aircraft field. they all seem to be the same tiny head as the dynabrade. you look these up as buffers and you find next to nothing but look them up as drills and there are a ton of different brands, all basically the same style. they all seem to have 1/4-28 female threads in the head which is actually better since you would be able to get the backup pad closer to the head. also they have these in different rpms. the acat posted was 2800 but i found another one that is 3200 like my dynabrade and it has a built in speed regulator all for $299. looks like a Taiwan co. im sure nowhere near the quality of a dyna but its not going to be a full time buffer either.

mine came from lockhead martin so no name on it . but it does have some torque. when drilling i can power down on it .
 
Well i just ordered that one from amazon. Ill report back on it and what i came up with for a low pro backup pad
 
I would have to look when I fly back home tomorrow, but if I remember I have a 2" foam pad setup I think I got from harbor freight.
I got this when I worked for Boeing and I also have a collection of short threaded drill bits that I use with it.

I think this is what I'm using in my drill.

Forgive me if you already gave the details, but I'm trying to figure out how you painted something that has so little clearance to buff?
 
lol well these are big cleats on yachts that are mounted to the toe rail that i do the faux teak on so you can get all around it with a gun but its just wide and low enough where it makes it very difficult to buff. there is about a 1" section that you just cant work with a regular mini buffer because of the main bar of the cleat hits the head of the buffer.

well sob . they dont even show any parts for them .

ereplacement seems to have parts . but this thing is so old it may not even come up .

i would assume you could take it apart and see if its something that can be fixed without parts? sounds like an oring broke apart and is clogged in an air passage somewhere
 
it's a spring. runs wide open all the time . will look for a model number and get some parts from ereplacement parts .
i'm so cheap i repair everything . our dryer is 35 years old .
been so long since i used it i had to look for it . my painting days are behind me now. i'm in the dirt business now . will do my own but no more customer work .
