I have a large bench/post mounted buffer I use to polish metal with. Used 4 different wheels and compounds to get the finish I was happy with.

Ya idk what's up with them in that picture but they don't always look like that. They do need some adjustment though which I'm gonna try to tackle this summer.

If you don't want to spend any federal reserve notes, go to autozone or O'reillys and rent a tail pipe cutter. I used that when I was looking for tips at the junkyard. I cut them off of a Monte Carlo, really clean cuts. Such art. It's really not that hard to use, but I spent like an hour trying to cut the tip off, because I'm a dumb butt and I was using the tool wrong :P There's enough room to use the tool, you just got to lay down on the ground. I laid on a door panel I found. Keeps the rocks from going all over the place. And when you're done, take it back and get your deposit back. It's fun to use.

Funny all the reviews say get a sawzall.

I've used a tail pipe cutter when I was fixing my sd headers I have after spending a hr trying to get some pipe cut even tried 2 different ones. Only thing it was good for was etching out a nice even line all the way around.Pulled out the grinder instead...easy peazy

Yeah... It was a pain. Tbh I had a cordless sawzall that I bought at habor freight for like $30 with a battery. I used that to cut one of the tips off lol
