Dremel Accessories (Cont.)
Wire Brushes
Three different shapes of wire brushes are available. For best results wire brushes should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. Refer to Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed setting. The three shapes come in three different materials: stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The stainless steel perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight corners and other difficult places. Bristle brushes can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.
Brushing Pressure
1.Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
2.If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
3.Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in full contact with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.
CORRECT:
Wire tips doing the work.
Polishing Accessories
These include an impregnated polishing point and an impregnated polishing wheel for bringing metal surfaces to smooth finish; a felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheel, and cloth polishing wheel, all used for polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small parts. Also included in this group is a polishing compound (No. 421) for use with the felt and cloth polishers.
Polishing points make a very smooth surface, but a high luster is obtained using felt or cloth wheels and polishing compound. For best results polishing accessories should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM.
No polishing compound is needed when using the 425 Polishing Wheel.
