Q: What size and type of buffing pads can be used with the RB1 buffer?
A: The RB1 accepts 5-inch through 8-inch diameter buffs or back-up pads. The spindle thread is 5/8-11 male, so backing pad and accessories must match or be compatible with that thread.
Q: What air supply requirements are needed for optimal performance?
A: The tool operates best at 90 psi air pressure with about 48 SCFM airflow. Use minimum 3/8-inch (10 mm) hose to minimize pressure drop. Rear exhaust helps keep operator more comfortable.
Q: Is this buffer suited for heavy-oxidation removal and final finishing or mainly one or the other?
A: With its 1-hp motor and 2,800 rpm free speed, the RB1 is capable of both heavy oxidation removal when using aggressive compounding and pads, and final finishing when used with finer polishing or finishing buffs. It’s designed to balance cut and finish for large automotive panels.
