Description
Finally - a device that allows you to run three buffs simultaneously. On one end of this 17" mandrel is a machined #2 Morse taper to fit in the head stock of your lathe; on the other a center to accept the tail stock. The shaft is 3/4" in diameter with buff spacing 4" apart. The 3-On Mandrel lets you quickly and efficiently run small items through the complete wood buffing process without the distraction of changing wheels between steps. It may be purchased separately or in a kit form with buffs, compounds and wax included.
Important: the buffs used with this mandrel have 3/4" holes through their centers, and are the same as those used with the Baldor or other stationary buffing machines. The buffs included with the standard Wood Buff Kit will NOT work.

Beall 3-on-1 Lathe Mandrel W/#2 Morse Taper
I'm no longer turning bowls. I already had the basic Beall buff system from years ago, so I purchased this mandrel to upgrade to the 3-on-1 system. My only issue was to enlarge the center hole on the buff wheels to 7/8 inch with a forstner bit to fit on the 3/4 inch mandrel shaft. Once assembled, the system works great. Nice to be able to have all three buffs in line for my smaller projects.
