Compact Drum Buffer
Swirl-free surface correction, by design
A pneumatic drum buffer for aircraft, automotive, and precision metal. The axial drum corrects in a straight line — cutting oxidation, haze, and paint defects without the circular swirl a rotary disc leaves behind.
No swirl
The drum travels in a straight line, so it never writes the circular swirl or hologram marks a spinning rotary disc leaves on bare aluminum.
Linear travel
In control
Contact speed of about 16.5 ft/s at 1,800 RPM — roughly half a 7″ rotary. A more controlled, less aggressive cut on thin and delicate panels.
≈ 16.5 ft/s
Fits & finishes
A compact 3.5″ drum reaches curves and tight panels, and takes all three Lucid buffing sleeves — cut, finish, or blend.
