PENDANT DRILLS / MULTI-TOOLS AND POLISHING

Polishing ‘mops’ are designed to fit a pendant drill or similar hand-held power tool / multi-tool. Polish is applied to a mop and this provides the abrasive, which polishes the metal surface.

Polishing inside cylinder shapes / holes, can be carried out using a polishing stick, made from dowel rod, wrapped with suede fabric / leather. A pendant drill / hand held power tool, fitted with a cylindrical polishing mop, is an alternative method.

POLISHING / BUFFING MACHINE

A Buffing / polishing machine is very useful, when polishing larger pieces of jewellery / silversmith work.
This is an example of a table top buffing machine. The ‘mops’ on either side of the machine, are soft and rotate quickly, polishing any metal surface pushed gently against them.
