Mandrels
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head, which
are required when you use polishing accessories, cutting
wheels, sanding discs, and pol ish ing points. The reason
mandrels are used is that sanding discs, cutting wheels and
similar accesso ries must be replaced frequently. The
mandrel is a permanent shank, allowing you to replace only
the worn head when necessary, thus saving the expense of
replacing the shaft each time.

felt polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.

and polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.

removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass, wood,
plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8" shank.
Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones
Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape and there is one
available in this category. These are made of aluminum
oxide and cover virtually every possible kind of grinding
application. Use them for sharpening lawn mower blades,
screwdriver tips, knives, scissors, chisels and other cutting
tools. Use to remove flash from metal castings, deburring
any metal after cutting, smoothing welded joints, grinding
off rivets and re mov ing rust. These grinding stones can be
resharped with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high
speed drills and cut ters normally are ground with aluminum
oxide wheels. 1/8" shank.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones
Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made es
pecially for use on hard materials such as glass and ce
ramics. Typical uses might be the removal of stilt marks and

and other hard material. Bits are covered with diamond
particles. 3/32" shanks. (Not recommended for drilling)
Wire Brushes
For best results wire brushes should be used at speeds
not greater than 8.000 RPM. Refer to Operating Speeds
section for proper tool speed setting. All brushes come
in three different materials: stainless steel, brass and
carbon wire. The stainless steel perform well on pewter,
aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving
"after-rust". Brass brushes are non sparking, and softer
than steel; making them good for use on soft metal like gold,
cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes are good for
general purpose cleaning.
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jew elry
and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into
tight corners and other difficult places. Bristle brushes can
be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or
polishing.
Brushing Pressure

the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the
