    single spindle bench polisher?

    Where's a good place to get an inexpensive coutner-top polishing unit? And possibly a small manual grovver as well.

    These folks can help you out with a manual groover.
    Set-up on a new groover is tricky and results are OK but with some time and fiddling you can usually get them to work.

    If you find a lightweight single spindle polisher GRAB IT!
    It seems that everything out there is based on a dual spindle industrial motor.

    We just use a cheap bench grinder from Lowe's and replace the stone with a polish wheel for when we need it, although it's not very often since our edger polishes jobs.

    I dont see why a single spindle motor, a double spindle one probably is cheaper and can do 2 functions at the same time. I would purchase locally, much less expensive. Like Chip says.

    I have an old Coburn polishing unit I'll sell you cheap. It's pretty large for a polisher though, about 13 inches square.
