Proper Buffer Work Height ?

Q. I have a 3/4 HP Baldor Buffer running 8" Buffs. I am trying to determine what Work Height it should be on a Pedestal Mount.

A. I believe there are too many variables to give you a proper answer, unless you have an automated line. Bottom line is how much pressure based upon what material.

A. Most folks prefer the shaft centerline a few above belly-button height.
