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.

Wire Brushes

! CAUTION Never use wire brushes at speeds greater than 15,000 rpm. Refer to Speed Settings

(pages 10-12) for proper tool and setting. Three different shapes

of wire brushes are 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 non-sparking 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.

Bristle Brushes	1/8" shank
Bristle brushes are
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 1/8" shank Tungsten carbide cutters

are long-lived cutters for 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.
