drum as they become worn and lose their grit. Bands come in fine and coarse grades.

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. They remove rust from tools

(Nos. 400, 406) or cutoff

wheels (Nos, 409, 420, 426) always have the

work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using

either of these accessories. The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kick-

back causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and guide the hand holding

the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel
