brushes. 4. Maintain contact between the edge of
the wheel and the work surface with wire wheels.
5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on
the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
