I justified this purchase by saying that it would pay for itself. Soon I will sell the wife's golf clubs which had accumulated the normal wear and tear but nothing dramatic. I knew that if I could give them a proper buffing job I could bring them back to "nearly new" however to do meant getting a new tool. The Delta GR275 fit comfortably in my $100 budget especially considering that it had a buffing wheel included. Assembled the grinder in a few minutes but had to take off one wheel to install the buffing wheel. The tooless feature mentioned does not really work as claimed. Were the wheels and accessories exactly the same thickness and the quick release toggle nuts machined more carefully then it might work as claimed. As it is the folk at the factory do use tools to tighten the nuts by screwing the left nut (lefthand thread) against the right (righthand thread) squeezing everything in the middle. I know this because my left grinding wheel was too tight such that the supplied wrench and another one I had would only bend when faced with the torque required to budge the nut. Luckily I had some big Channelock pliers I could use on the big washer under the quick release nuts and broke it loose with a screwdriver as advised in the manual. Releasing the levers on the tightly screwed nut had no effect on reducing the disassembly torque. I don't really see this as a problem as I had low expectations of the feature and knew that I could take it apart using the typical techniques used with these tools. Please note that the manual does not mention in the section on replacing wheels that the left nut is left handed and the right correspondingly right handed. The parts list does refer to them as LH and RH but these abbreviations could easily be understood as locational references not their handedness. For one not experienced with these tools it's a fact that is important to remember.
After a little research on buffing I realized that I couldn't use multiple polishing compounds with one wheel effectively. I needed a dedicated wheel for the coarsely ground emery compound. After a short trip to HD I soon had two buffing wheels mounted and a variety of buffing compounds. You need to remove the outer covers and tool rests to get access to the buffing wheels. Soon I developed a process of wet sanding using 400 grit sandpaper until the scratches disappeared. Once done the emery wheel polished the satin finish left by the paper. A stainless steel compound almost did the job but a follow up with a white rouge compound left a finish that looked chrome plated, just as new.
