ACCESSORIES (continued)
High Speed Cutters
High speed cutters are 1/8" shank used in carving, cutting
and slotting wood, plastics
and soft metals (such as aluminum, copper and brass). Made of high quality steel.
Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters
1/8" shank
These cutters feature fast cutting needle- sharp teeth for greater material removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber.

available in three differ- |
| |||||
ent materials: stainless | 1/8" shank | |||||
steel, brass and carbon | ||||||
wire. | Stainless | steel |
| |||
brushes perform well on pewter, aluminum, | ||||||
stainless steel and other metals, without | ||||||
leaving rust. Brass brushes are | ||||||
and softer than steel, making them good for | ||||||
use on soft metals like gold, copper and | ||||||
brass. Carbon wire brushes are good for | ||||||
general purpose cleaning. |

used for cleaning tools on |
|
silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight cor- ners and other difficult spaces. They can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.
Engraving Cutters |
|
Engraving cutters come in a | 3/32" shank |
wide variety of sizes and |
shapes and are used for intricate work on ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewel- ry and scrimshaw. They are often used in making complicated printed circuit boards. They should not be used on steel and very hard materials, but are good for use on wood, plastic and soft metals.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Tungsten carbide cutters 1/8" shank are
use on hardened steel, fired
ceramics and other very hard materials. They can be used for engraving on tools and gar- den equipment.
Brushing Pressure
•. The tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pres- sure so only the tips of the wires come in contact with the work surface.
•. If heavier pressure is used, the wires will become overstressed, resulting in a wip- ing action. If this continues, the life of the brush will be shortened by fatigue.
•. Apply the brush to the work surface so the majority of the brush face makes full contact. Applying the edge or side of the brush to the work surface will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.
