This tip is about buffing out a wax finish on small parts.
You’ll find that a paint roller sleeve makes a great buffer. You just need a way to mount it.
The drill press is the obvious choice. Get a block of wood of suitable length and start planning the corners off until you get a snug fit of the paint sleeve.
Drill a hole down the center of the block for a bolt or a threaded rod and chuck the rod in the drill press.
A dab of hot melt glue could be used to hold the sleeve in place if the fit is a bit loose.
At Wood Magazine —Sam Johnson, Covington, Ga.– suggests using a spindle sander instead of the drill press.
“To quickly buff out a wax finish on small projects, turn to your oscillating spindle sander. Just cut a thick-nap paint roller in half and slide it over a spindle drum. It fits perfectly and works quickly to bring out a wax luster.”
