For a buffer I use an old sump pump motor strapped onto a cradle made of a couple V-notched pieces of 2X6 attached to the end of my workbench. Cheap and works fine. Eastwood also used to sell an arbor to use with a motor such as mine. Harbor Freight sells some inexpensive bench buffers.

Will a bench grinder work, or a drill?
I got a quote to have the pieces refinished and buffed, $45 a piece, that's 6 pieces, and $270! Yikes...
