![]() The buffing surfaces are offset to the platters to create an oblong effect to the rotation of the balls while spinning thus creating the spiral spinning effect of the balls as to ensure a total 100% buffing effect of the balls to eliminate any foggy effects in shining the balls associated with all other ball polishers. The head of the polisher is easy to remove because it’s only mounted with 4 screws this ensures easy disassembly for the replacement of the carpeted buffing surfaces. ![]() Power to the motor is passed through a spring wound timer that can be turned up to 15 min. Each drive shaft is mounted with 2 sets of bearing blocks to insure a balanced rotation. The platters are mounted on 1/2in steel drive shafts. ![]() Both platters are linked together with 5in pulleys using a 32in x 1/2in fan belt. With a 4 to 1 reduction on the motor this insures that no undue stress can be placed on the motor or drive platters during operation as only 25% of the maximum rated load capacity is being used for start up and operation. The motor speed is 1725rpms, but is mounted with a 1 1/2in pulley driving a 6in pulley using a 37in x 1/2in fan belt going to the first drive shaft which reduces the platter rpms to 431rpms. Its thermal protected to shut off if it gets to warm, then after cooling down resetting itself, although I’ve never seen this happen in the last 11 years. The motor is a Dayton 1/3hp fan motor designed to give years of reliable performance. The Diamond Ball Polisher consists of one motor driving 2 platters.
