A drill isn't the best tool for this. A small motor is much better. You can even convert a bench grinder. I've done miles of buffing using an old motor out of a washing machine. Anything from 1/4 hp up. On stainless, 1/2 hp or more is best, somewhere around 2,000 - 3,000 RPM.

You can get lost of cheap buffing supplies here: http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/

No affiliation. I've used them. They have OK stuff, good prices, lots of knowledge.
