Can I use this machine for grinding and polishing glass surfaces?

I have not used this product in such a manner but assume it would be effective if using the higher numbered polishing pads, followed by a buffing pad.

You can used it on glass however the results may not be what you are looking for.

I don't think so. Most of laser mouse won't work on glass surface except it's dull polish.

You could, potentially, if you found it has the same size as the glass base; although you risk damaging both products. The great thing about having the grinder fitted tightly to the glass base is that you have a good grip while grinding.

if you have the appropriate size spindle (5/8 - 11 UNC spindle) it will work. It is a very nice polisher, but keep in mind, fitting on a spindle is one thing. Most polishes work well around 1500 RPM maybe as high as 3000, but that is dependent upon what type of compound you are using. I don't know the speed of your angle grinder. If too fast, you can burn paint, and I would imagine, ruin the buffer pad.

I personally wouldn't use my Eastwood buffer as a grinder this thing works great for polishing I think with a high RPMs that it puts out that could potentially be dangerous running a grinding wheel on there.

I am sure it could, using the right polish, and if you have the correct skills to accomplish the task. A friend of mine's father used to polish glasses, but he had a specific machine to do this.

Absolutely... You can set the grind fairly coarse and works great when grinding for a French press. Also makes te grinding process much quicker.

Not sure what type of grinding wheel to use, but the grinding disc that comes with this model is meant for metal and would likely damage the wood floor and gum up with glue. A different wheel may be needed. Otherwise, this model has done some moderate grinding work and performed excellent. I recommend this tool for price, performance and so far reliability. Hope this helps answer your question!

Probably, but don't know for sure. I use them to cut glass. But the cost is probaby worth a try. If you go to orchard supply or some place similar look at the different wheels (accesories) in the Dremel brand, it should tell you which tool is for cutting metal so u can match with an off brand.

You could also try the clay bar, it made my glass super smooth. I dont think the black wax applicator pad on the tool should hurt glass as it is non-abrasive.

I have only used it for sanding but I think it would be good for polishing.

Probably could. I have been grinding pavers, rock and granite without an issue. May want to think about using water to keep the dust down

You can. But, the foam is very soft. The yellow pad is a little more firm. Which gives you more polishing power.

I am pretty sure it will do the job. I have polished well over 21 sq. ft. in aquarium panels. I usually wet the glass and put some polish on a cutting pad and then lightly spread some over the glass. I have a variable speed polisher and use around 2500 rpm. If the surface is clean with no scratches, a fine polishing pad should work great. Just take your time.

Yes you can but you must to buy Dewalt DW4774 4-1/2 inch grinding wheel. It will smooth and level the surface out. Try it you will like it. The grinding wheel is expensive but iy is worth. Good luck

It will certainly be able to grind down the material. The metal disk is especially aggressive and can quickly eat through concrete. The polishing pads aren't nearly as aggressive, there's quite a performance gap in-between the metal grinding cup and the coarsest pad (though that's not a problem for regular use, I'm just saying your options might be limited for what you're doing). As another person said however, this is a messy process. Even when you make good use of the leather velcro strap and a wet/dry vacuum to help contain the water, it gets everywhere.
