Buffing pad for kitchen counter top
 
I am use to using power tools at work. In almost all cases instead of
reaching for a screwdriver I use my battery powered drill.

I have been searching unsuccessfully for a say a 6" pad that will fit
in my drill. I would think that the little house cleaning I do would
be easier with such an attachment.

You can use a disk intended for sanding, covered with a lambswool bonnet.
It's often used for polishing cars.

Like a buffing wheel for a grinder or a buffing pad
for polishing a car?

Go to froogle.com, enter "buffing pad drill" without
the quotes, and sort by price.

Maybe because I have absolutely no other use for a disk grinder?

True, but look at Terry's first two sentences. He loves power tools.
This is an opportunity to justify buying another one, and electric
buffers or grinders are not that expensive. That's why I suggested that
/he/ buy one, not you. ;-)

Best regards,
Bob

If he loves them that much, then it's surprising he doesn't already own
one, just not the buffing pad. Besides, it's cheaper to buy a disk and pad
for the drill.
