Description
How to use our Mini Rubber Silicone Polishers
Please make sure to use our recommended taper mandrel with your bullet and cylinder shaped polishers. They are specifically designed to be used with these. Other mandrels may cause the polisher to split or fly off when in use.
The screw mandrel is to be used with the knife edge and wheel shapes.
These rubber abrasives have a recommended speed of between 7,000-10,000 RPM and are to be used with light pressure. Ideal for use by jewellers, glass engravers, ceramicists and on all materials from precious and non-precious metals, glass, porcelain, acrylic, enamel, composite materials and synthetic materials.
They are also useful for numerous jobs around the home such as removing paint from door handles, hinges, fixtures and fittings.
Use in your pendant drill, flexible shaft, micro motor or rotary tool such as a Dremel (ensuring you have a 2.3mm collet or the Dremel Multi Chuck), Foredom or Proxxon.
Helpful note: No need to use any additional paste or compound with these.
For use on Metals:
- White: Coarse for quick removal of metal, ceramic and acrylic.
- Black: Medium for smoothing precious metal alloys. Softer than white and more flexible
- Blue: Fine for high lustre on metals
- Pink: Extra Fine for a super shine, mirror finish look on metals
Tip for glass engravers: cut around the outline of your design in self-adhesive vinyl this will protect the clear glass that you don't want to be cut from becoming polished as well. The black or blue abrasives are perfect for adding shading to your work.
"The wheels with the knife edge are excellent for getting into very small areas and for cleaning up around appliqued bits on silver jewellery" - Philongold
“For Glass Engraving these are great if any light mistakes are made for reducing the mark and covering up the mistake, also for helping in the shading of detail. Am happy as larry with them” - Bill Jeans
"I work for a glass line manufacturer and have been very impressed with the results of the polishing bits" - George Douglas"

re these on 2.35mm shanks (the quick change handpiece)
Viv Ryan
These rubber polishers are unmounted. You will need either the taper mandrel (TM1) to hold the bullet and cylinder shapes or the screw mandrel (SM1) to hold the wheel and knife edge shapes, both of these mandrels have a 2.35mm shank.
Is the white/course silicone polishing wheel somewhat flexible like an eraser or is it extremely firm like stone?
The range of the polishers on this page are flexible like an eraser. For a more semi-rigid polisher try any from the EVEflex technik range which includes our Eveflex Technik Mounted Rubber Polishing Burrs, the unmounted rubber polishers and the mini rubber silicone pin polishers. The EVE Pumice polishing discs are also semi-rigid.
