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.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work.
Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do
the work. Operate the brush with the
lightest pressure so only the tips of the
wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires
will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action; and if this is continued, the life of
the brush will be shortened due to wire
fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
that as much of the brush face as
possible is in full contact with the work.
Applying the side or edge of the brush to
the work will result in wire breakage and
shortened brush life.
Dremel Accessories
These include an impregnated polishing
point and an impregnated polishing wheel
for bringing metal sur faces to smooth finish;
a felt polishing tip and felt polish ing wheel,
and cloth polishing wheel, all used for
polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small
parts. Also included in this group is a
polishing compound (No. 421) for use with
the felt and cloth polishers.
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.
No polishing compound is needed when
using the 425 Polishing Wheel.

drum which fits into the Rotary Tool and
makes it possible to shape wood, smooth
fiberglass, sand inside curves and other
diffi cult places, and other sanding jobs. You
replace the sanding bands on the drum as
they become worn and lose their grit. Bands
