Hello!
I need help with using the polisher pads on my Bench Grinder. I want a shiny finish on rocks too big for my tumbler. How would you achieve this? Certain kinds of pads maybe? I tried with the pad it came with and nothing. The grinder is great though.

Welcome to the forum.
You would need to get the stones fairly smooth to begin with. Then I suggest using a cotton buffer wheel. Peel back some of the paper tube of a tube of Zam and while the wheel is spinning, lightly push the exposed Zam against the wheel. The friction will melt a little the Zam on the wheel. Then buff the stone with the wheel. Repeat apply a little of the Zam once in a while. Adding too much will leave a dull, waxy coat, which s why you want to lightly apply the Zam to the wheel.

Great I'll try that! Thank you!
