Review on πŸ”§ Beall 3-Inch Lathe Buffing Mandrel by Austin Arvayo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

wheels are too close. I will give it 4 stars after making it more functional

The product does a good job of finishing. Wheels with fingers or a handle, etc. if longer than a few inches. I ended up removing one of the wheels so I could separate the remaining two wheels into something more sensible. I think this setup would be better with a longer stem and machine extension. I will eventually finish handcrafting on the lathe until I have a table extension and then build my own long pole to use the wheels. Also note that the wheel drops a ton of cotton material when I first prep it. It didn't matter much over time, but it rained stuff at first.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • dull packaging
