>For the last several months I have been selling small volumes of buffer/sander
>adapters to local automotive paint supply stores here in Oregon.  This adapter
>allows the auto enthusiast that has a Black & Decker buffer, or just about any
>other non-commercial grade buffer/sander to use the high quality buffing and
>sanding pads that the professionals use.  These high grade pads protect your
>car from being scratched during buffing, but only fit the 5/8" tapped shaft
>found only on commercial grade buffers.  Since these commercial grade buffers
>cost upwards of $300, that forces the consumer that buys the $50 range buffers
>to buy the cheap quality, yet expensive, buffing pads that fit the
>non-commercial 3/8" tapped shafts.  I am now making adapters that allow the
>non-commercial grade buffers to use commercial grade pads.  All you need to
>install this adapter is a screwdriver.  The adapter screws onto the smaller
>shaft and the pad screws onto the adapter.  The adapter costs $5 plus shipping
>and handling.

>If anyone here would like to buy one of these adapters, or has questions or
>comments about this adapter, or other adapters, please email me at
