Drills
Step Drills are used to drill wood, precious metals,
mild steel, bone, and mother of pearl. Diamond
Coated Twist Drills, made of wire gauge steel with
diamond coating, are used to drill extremely fine
holes in stone, ceramics, tile, glass, and hard metals.
Plated and Sintered
Diamond Points and Discs
are used to remove stock from extremely hard
materials such as tungsten and tantalum carbide
cutting tools, dies and molds, broaches, and for
grinding and pre-polishing synthetic jewels and
precious metals, fiberglass, reinforced plastics, PVC
and ceramics. Sintered diamonds last far longer than
plated diamonds and can be re-sharpened as desired
with a wet dressing stone to expose new
diamond particles.
Sanding Drums, Bands, and Discs
These are used for removing rust, smoothing rough
surfaces and for sanding jobs on wood, plastic and
metal. (Avoid using too much pressure which will
cause clogging or a build-up on the work surface.)
For best results, use medium speeds for coarser
grits and larger diameters. Use higher speeds for
finishing work or with smaller sizes. Unique 3M
Ceramic Purple Coated Abrasive Bands and Discs
contain patented Cubitron TM ceramic aluminum oxide
mineral that sharpens itself with use. They last 2 to 4
times longer than traditional aluminum oxide discs
and remove material faster with less heat
and loading.
Cotton or Felt Bobs and Buffs
Solid Felt Buffs or Bobs are used in combination
with gritty or smooth compounds for a variety of
buffing and polishing operations on plastic, wood,
and metal. They vary in shape and come in three
hardnesses — medium, hard, and rock hard.
Loosely-stitched Soft Cotton Buffs are used for
delicate work on precious metal and during polishing
operations. Generally use high speeds for cutting
down and buffing. Medium speeds are used for
more delicate, precise work and for polishing.
Brushes
Miniature Power Brushes are generally used on
metal surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. They are
ideal for deburring, surface finishing, edge blending,
roughening to create a good bonding surface, and
general cleaning. Use high speeds for cleaning and
deburring. Medium speeds are needed when
cleaning hard-to-reach areas and edge blending.
Unique Scotch-Brite TM Radial Bristle Discs from
3M have thin flexible bristles that get into hard to
reach areas on flat and curved surfaces. Use on
metal, acrylic, plaster, ceramics and wood without
the need for compounds. They can sand, smooth,
polish, or burnish metal, plastic, or wood to a
bright finish.
Compounds
Foredom has seven different compounds. In addition
to Emery, Tripoli, and Red and White Rouges, there
is unique Platinum Blue for pre-polishing and cut-
ting down platinum and other metals, and for final
polishing unique Platinum White (8000 grit) that
produces a deep luster on platinum, other metals,
and acrylics. Carnauba is the hardest wax available.
It produces a high luster on wood and
painted surfaces.
