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.

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. Refer to Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed setting.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels

Use to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless steel and other metals. Available in

fine and medium grits.

Sanding Accessories

Sanding discs are made to fit mandrel No. 25028. They can be used for nearly any small sanding job you might have, from model making to fine furnitur_ finishing. In addition, there is the drum sander, a tiny drum which fits into the Rotary Tool and makes it possible to shape wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and other difficult places, and other sanding jobs. You replace the sanding bands on the 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. Never use wire brushes at speeds greater than 15,000 RPM. Refer to Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed setting.

They remove rust from tools and other metal surfaces, and clean and burnish metal parts. Use for such jobs as cleaning electrical connections to assure good conduction.

Bristle Brushes

This is an excellent cleaning tool on silverware, jewelry and antiques. A bristle brush can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.

O

Cutting Wheels

operations. Use them for cutting off frozen bolt heads and nuts, or to reslot a screw head

which has become so damaged that the screwdriver won't work in it. Fine for cutting BX cable, small rods, tubing, cable and cutting rectangular holes in sheet metal.
