Thread: Rotary s/s wire brushes for the dremel,

at the Despot it was about 12 bucks. the kit also came with what i think is a plastic bristle brush and a red buffing compound of unspecified grit. and some of those hard gray wheels labeled metal polishing that are really 2 or 3 steps away from what i would call "polished". i do need to find a bag of those felt wheels though... mine got cross con-grit-ulated

I'd order from Widget Supply www.widgetsupply.com. They're selling them and flap-wheels dirt-cheap. Shipping to Canada was VERY reasonable. Plus they have some other interesting goodies.

Hello Tony. For a little hint about the wire brushes. My Dremel owners manual suggests that they be used at a slower speed. Also I would suggest to use a light pressure.

Cheers Ilija I had forgot about them. I have some on order now but will take a look next time.


Hi BJ

That’s where the problem is I think mine doesn’t go slow enough.
I have never used it on anything but the first setting because anything faster sounds like a jet setting off.
That is a good point about not pressing too hard because it does tend to leave a burn mark like a satin finish on highly polished razors.
I may have to look at a speed controller or a genuine Dremel.

God the pain of spending money!
