Do you want to see the finished piece...or what the die grinder, the discs and polisher look like...sorry if that seems like a dumb question...  but I am not really sure what you want to see.

Jeff - I'd like to see both. The disc and polisher especially as I haven't heard of the scotchbrite discs and polisher. |

Bryan,
Here are a couple photos of the die grinder with Roloc discs. Roloc is a trademarked name as is scotchbrite (both 3M). You can often find the discs and the pad (arbor) on Ebay. You can get them in 1", 2" and 3" . The pad's "grit" is correlated to the color of the pad.

Here is the polisher. It is beside a 9/16" wrench so you can get an idea of the size. It has a 3" velcro pad that you can attach various buffing pads to...you can get the same pads as you could for a large buffer (applicators, wool etc). It has a variable speed control via small gate valve on the inlet. You can get the die grinder and polisher at a place like Northern Tool. The die grinder has a speed of up to 22,000 rpm so it works well on metal and for stripping paint.
There are mini polishers and mini sanders like the one I have here...and the look exactly alike. However the mini polisher's rpm is a fraction of the sanders...so if you get the wrong one...you could burn paint trying to buff with it.
Hope this helps

Wow those pads are just what I need, and I didn't know about them either. I use Scotch pads by hand and have grinders and polishers for coarse and fine work. This is in between, perfect. Thanks for sharing Jeff.
