3M Radial Bristle Polishing Discs: Everything you need to know

These long lasting Scotch-Brite 3M Radial Discs with flexible bristles allow you to polish difficult to reach, intricate and detailed areas. No compound is required. Great for use by jewellers, silversmiths, engineers and craftspeople for use on all metals, wood, ceramics and plastics. Useful for defuzzing and sanding in wood carving. www.eternaltool...
Stack 3 at a time on your Screw Mandrel. Do not mix the grits. (Can stack up to 6 on a mandrel)
Use at approximately 15,000RPM on your hand drill and exceed no more than 35,000 RPM
To use correctly, be sure when looking at the top of the mandrel, the bristles all turn to the right, (there is a 3M printed on the back of each disc, this should be facing towards the shaft of the mandrel)
For a pre-polish to polish, work your way through the grades, beginning with the coarsest to the finest (80, 120, 220, 400 and finally 600 grit being the finest)
Unlike natural bristle brushes there is no need to add compound, so no mess, and no chemicals!
Use for pre-polishing, deburring and texturing for jewellery work, defuzzing and sanding in wood carving in all the awkward areas of your work.

I have a 500 piece rotary tool accessory set and never knew what those plastic flap discs were until now thank you

Great.vid.,thank.you...

What is the indicator that it’s time to swap them out? I loved mine at first, but they “seem”
a little less effective now. Could be my imagination. I’m noticing hairline scratches even after working all 6 ending with green. Could they have microscopic silver partials embedded in them? Is there a way to clean them? Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@Eternaltools]

The bristles will shorten as they are wearing down but ultimately if they are less effective than they once were you should swap them out. 3M are discontinuing these so if you would like to try something similar try the EVE range of radial disc polishers:

[@abstractbybrian]

That's it! No polishing compound and buffing wheels etc?

[@Eternaltools]

Yes, that's it JBL Creations!

[@maryscottbaird6514]

Can these be used for sanding on wood in tight spaces?

[@Eternaltools]

Hi Mary - yes, they certainly can, here;s the product page for you: www.eternaltools.com/3m-radial-bristle-polishing-discs Another great rotary tool for de-fuzzing wood carvings are these EVE Fiberwheels:www.eternaltools.com/abrasive-fibre-buff-wheels they work a treat

[@maggwhlz]

Can these be used on polymer clay?

[@Eternaltools]

Yes they can

[@bissaoto9032]

Can it be used on plastics?

[@Eternaltools]

No, you would be best to use something such as these EVE Soft wheels: www.eternaltools.com/eve-soft-wheel-polishing-discs

[@Eternaltools]

Or some Dialux White compound on a felt bob or wheel: www.eternaltools.com/dialux-polishing-compound

[@ryancollins2902]

Are these good on most metals? Gold and silver for example. Thanks

[@Eternaltools]

Yes, absolutely

[@lovepeacetruth123]

Could I use these on something harder like agate?

[@Eternaltools]

if you're looking to polish or remove marks from agate then you will need to use a diamond based tool. Something such as diamond paste www.eternaltools.com/diamond-polishing-paste or diamond impregnated rubber polishers www.eternaltools.com/eve-diapol-diamond-polishers
