Small electric polisher

Looking for recommendations on a small electric polisher. I need one to be able to get in a few areas that are too small to use a 6 inch. Anyone have a suggestion based on personal experience/thanks

I have a bunch of assorted small buffs that I use with my drill press that work really nice for polishing metal. I have different rouge and compounds to work with the buffs that work well with aluminum and other soft metals. You didn’t specify if you were polishing paint, metal, glass or plastic. I have often considered the hanging flex shaft type grinders but most spin at 20000+ rpm which for polishing would probably be too fast. Some are variable speed but It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s slow enough for polishing.

Re: Small electric polisher

I have a few different shape wool buffers like these for my pneumatic die grinders..

pretty sure you could find electric die grinders like a dremel that would work similarly..

good luck!
