It's the Smartool orbital polisher that Chris has got, though I didn't have any luck in searching for it at a reasonable price.
Another relatively-low-cost dual-action polisher that's meant to be very good is the Kestrel DAS-6, e.g. here.

Mr Mole Steve thats not what Chris uses for the shiney things :Chair::Bazza::Fish::Shooting:Doh ! Yes you're right of course :Fish:
He got some stuff off eBay for that which is attached to an electric drill, didn't he ?

ok, this is the stuff that Chris originally got, I presume that's what he's still using ? You just attach it to an electric drill.

The bits that Steve has linked to is what i still use mate, and i brought a cheap drill from a local shop so if i burn it out its na bother and it's easy just buy another so dont go out spending a lot on a drill as it will wear out
Also good to have a vice when you do it so you can hold the drill in it, makes it easier than holding the drill for long periods of time aswell as trying to hold the part aswell? :p

Was thinking of getting a pencil grinder instead of a drill , because it spins a lot lot faster than a drill. Do you think this would be ok with the polishing process
