So I bought this antique cabinet maybe 10 years ago, has 2 pull out drawers with holes in them for Pool balls and what looks like storage spots for 6 cues. May have been a cabinet for a doctor or dentist any hew... I finally converted it to a ball polisher, works amazing. I took apart an orbital polisher and removed the orbital component, added a dimmer switch and it is awesome.

Its cool, with the dimmer switch I can go from 50 RPM up to 3200 RPM. Works best at around 1500 in my testing, just spray some Novus 1 and let them spin for maybe 2 minutes and they are like brand new balls
 
This is really nice! Great work on the custom built in cleaner for sure. I am impressed with your skills! If you made pictures of how you built the cleaner and the process I am sure I speak for many here that we would really appreciate seeing the process.

What kind of motor uses a dimmer to control speed? DC or is your "dimmer" something more?

Be careful is that's an AC motor with a rheostat dimmer.
