These are fairly inexpensive polisher that will tend to burn up if you push them to hard.
If memory serves me correctly most of these had a 3/8" arbor instead of the industrial standard 5/8" arbor and thus you cannot find or easily find any backing plates that will fit onto them.
If it's newer than it will have the 5/8" arbor and you can get a multitude of backing plates and pads to use with it.
It's been years, maybe decades since I seen or used a Wen Rotary Buffer.

That was my first machine!
I got it from Wal mart in 1998, and gave it away in 09, because it burned up, like you said.
I plan on replacing it with a Flex pe14 though.
Anyways... I have some great memories of using and learning on that thing!

That's my experience with one, maybe two back in the old days... I haven't see one for years now...
You'll never regret buying a Flex tool.
