Buffing - finally!

I have a corded variable speed. I've heard the cordless are nice for polymer
because the speed doesn't ramp up so high that you burn the piece when
buffing.

I've been looking at dremels and dremel-like rotary tools. I've got a
dinky little one that operates at about half the speed of a dremel. My
concern is that the speed might make it difficult to handle/control. Is
there a particular dremel you'd recommend? Pricewise, I was thinking of
the cordless MiniMite.

Cheers,
Carla

I got very nice results using the muslin buffing wheels that came with my
dremel, but they are pricey. Grant Diffendaffer uses polyester fleece and
gets a superb shine. I want to try hemp fabric, personally, but need to
find a seamstress to make me the buffing wheels.

Here are instructions to make your own buffing wheels (plus other really
handy tips):
