Rubberized polishing burrs for aluminium...

[J1MS]

Think there's 7 left with this seller they come up fairly often and sometimes cheaper than this... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT ...
These are very soft the speed on a Dremel is I find best kept low and a light even pressure used... Do not use once the tip wears down as the metal that protrudes will scratch the freshly polished alloy fairly heavily... But I like these they can do an excellent job but it has to be close to a finished size first as they only remove a small amount... I also use these for polishing the windows in pistons to prevent cracks forming and for finishing the reed block off where its been modded...

These rubberized burr thingy's look a whole lot better than using the old sandpaper cone jobbies. Cheers Jims

Just happy that other people know there are cheap easy ways of getting a fairly good finish... and no saw knuckles from rubbing down...
When you use them remember that they are rubber and grit, they wear out fast... you will use a few but they are cheap at about 14 pence each so dont be shy use them up, and when there gone get some more .... but remember they will scratch the aluminium if you let them wear to the steel shaft... best of luck with them ..

P.S.
I find them best on the end of a mini flex drive, its better to control the pressure that you put on them...
