Thread: Anyone knows how to use these discs?

Hi everyone,

i had some caoutchouc discs to clean up some of my blades which are pitted too much with deep spots/stains.

here a picture of the discs;



first i tried them on a scissors and the result was a little too much abrasive. i tought to use them for remove the metal on my razor blades and get them a mirror polish. but now i have no idea which processus to follow for a fine result.

I would not let those near my razors ! Hand sand is the way to go . Hand sanding a blade - Straight Razor Place Library

Step away from the dremel!

Like they both said, Do not use. All you will do is ruin the blade. Hand sand.

Well i tried hand sand this afternoon but the black stains don't go away. That's why I thought about these discs.

Here a pic

Please use some 220 grit paper and see this thread.

Those are emery disks. Very fast metal removers. I use them to clean up small welds. They heat the metal up pretty hot too.
Definitely not for razors!

If 220 doesn't cut it, drop down to wet/dry 100 grit with some oil.

(1) Make yourself a jig to hold the blade while sanding .( rare earth magnets countersunk into jig and covered with duct tape.)

(2) Obtain something with the correct profile onto which wrap the sandpaper and save your hands.

(3) Wet dry sandpaper in grits from 100 to 3000

(4) WD 40 as sanding lube

I tried that route and trust me you don't want to do it they put grinding marks that don't go away at all

Here are the way I started with simple stuff that I still use a lot:

Add Wet-Dry paper from a lumber yard or a Auto supply house.
