Abstract: A polishing apparatus comprising a support base on which is mounted a power source to drive a swash plate, and an extension member connecting the power source and the swash plate to a remote polishing member. The polishing member comprises a gripping portion for the operator and a receiving member adapted to accept a polishing stone. The extension member comprises a hollow outer tube having a movable inner core to transmit the reciprocating motion of the swash plate to the receiving member of the remote polishing member in order to reciprocate the polishing stone at high speed.
