Cleaning And Polishing

UpUp


This is my cleaning/polishing setup. I clean off light rust and grime using a 8 inch wire wheel, mounted on a 1 HP, 3450 RPM motor. The speed helps prolong the life of the brush, as the wire in the brush does not bend as much at high speed. The horsepower allows me to push into the brush and clean quickly.

I polish stuff on a 3/4 HP Baldor grinder, where I have a 8 inch Norton Bear-Tex fine polishing wheel mounted. With a little experience, I can do a simple cleaning and polishing job in one minute.
