For my jewelry I have a HF bench grinder with tapered spindles. I removed the wheel guards, installed the tapered spindles, then spun the muslin wheels on. One thing to be sure to do when using polishing wheels is to wear a face mask and face shield. Inhaling the grit and cotton particles just ain't healthy and getting something thrown in your face hurts like crazy. Never polish small chain on a wheel, use a tumbler with steel shot. Wear gloves, the metal get hot quick and when it gets hot you tend to get careless.
