3M Radial Bristle Polishing Discs (Pack of 3)
These long-lasting 3M Radial Bristle Discs allow you to polish and clean difficult-to-reach, intricate and detailed areas such as small jewellery parts, engineering threads and bores and are ideal for de-fuzzing and sanding in wood carving.
Radial Bristle Discs used by jewellers, silversmiths, precision engineers and craftspeople are for use on all metals, wood, ceramics and plastics.
Choose from the following grits, 80# being the coarsest to 1 micron being the finest. 3 in a pack. 19mm diameter.
- Yellow, 80 grit
- Red, 220 grit
- Blue, 400 grit
- Pink Pumice (approx. 1,200 grit)
- Peach, 6 micron (approx. 3,000 grit)
- Light Green, 1 micron (approx 14,000 grit)
Stack 3 radial bristle discs at a time on your Screw Mandrel. Do not mix the grits. (Can stack up to 6 on a mandrel) No compound is required.
Please read the Description tab below for further information on applications and suggested grit sizes, how to use the radial bristle discs and more.
Description
Use Radial Bristle Discs for polishing your surface material at approximately 15,000 RPM on your hand drill and exceeding no more than 35,000 RPM.
To use correctly, be sure, when looking at the top of the mandrel, that the bristles all turn to the right (there is a 3M printed on the back of each disc; this should be facing towards the shaft of the mandrel)
For a pre-polish to polish, work your way through the grades, beginning with the coarsest to the finest.
Unlike natural bristle brushes, there is no need to add compound, so there is no mess and no chemicals!
Use for pre-polishing, deburring and texturing for jewellery work, de-fuzzing and sanding in wood carving in all the awkward areas of your work.

I use a Dremel. I am polishing silver card cases from 1850 to 1940. What color wheels would you recommend? Some have varying degrees of tarnish and texture. I want to restore high polish but not destroye the metal.
