Hi Candy,

    You can rig up a cardboard box lid at the back of your grinder to
    catch wayward flying objects. The cardboard will also help cushion
    the blow and help prevent most serious ding/dents. While I haven't
    had any experience polishing up silver, I have done a fair share of
    polishing polymer clay on a muslin buffing wheel. I know the object
    you're polishing should be at the bottom half of the wheel and if the
    wheel catches the item, it will safely throw it away from you. I was
    always told to use the "butterfly kisses" technique when polishing
    polymer, don't know if the same applies for metals though.
