This is exactly what I have been looking for! For some reason, it's so hard to find information on polishing, this video was so clear and helpful.

@beaducation Год назад

YAY! Glad it was helpful! Let us know if you have any questions :)

All that painstaking polishing of metal samples for microstructure analysis really paid off. This is so similar, just a little more complicated yet more forgiving. Thank you for such a detailed explanation!

@flyingcheff 9 лет назад

Joe, that was the BEST! You HEAR so much about how to do this but until you get it right yourself from EXPERIENCE, it's a mystery. The sequence of real-life polishing was INVALUABLE! Thanks so much!

@maryellentanis5464 11 лет назад

Thanks Joe for a great video. I just dug out my Dad's dremel, and had no idea where to begin to use it for my jewelry making. This video has taught me so much. Can't wait to get home and pull out the dremel and start polishing........

@cyndireid9703 10 лет назад

GREAT instructional video on polishing!!!. I was baffled by all those wheels and discs that came with my FlexShaft. Thank you for demystifying this process.

@sisteryaya24 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for this great tutorial on polishing! This has always been one of the most challenging aspects for me in doing my wire and metal work, which was always an area my teachers glossed over in classes. Your detailed instruction on wheels, grits and technique are invaluable!

@christinebicknell3139 8 лет назад

Have joined silversmithing class 2 times a week and have just bought a Dremel. Need to polish my pieces at home and your help and advice is just what I was looking for. Have bought the micro dremel as I am a "granny" now and a little scared of tools. I will upgrade when I know what I am doing! Many many thanks. I bought your first book after seeing some of your videos. Great teacher!

@nathalieschumann8499 4 года назад

I loved this so much! I recently purchased a Dremel, it‘s my first polishing tool and I was too scared to use it and had no clue which polishing bits to get. This helped me a lot! Plus: I love the jewelry shown here. The ring with the winter tree scenario? So pretty. And the little house pendant? Absolutely cute.

@JenniferMitchell77 4 года назад

Nicely done video, so informative! I've bought a lot of vintage jewelry, some that I want to polish up a bit. Got a dremel but needed to know what bits to use. This helped a LOT! Thanks!

Only just found this video and it addressed, very clearly, a number of questions and issues I had with polishing - like polishing in tight spaces and removing solder without filing. It's also the first one I've seen showing how best to control the flexishaft - I was constantly flipping jewellery out of my hands or managing to create new marks with the mandrel itself.

@LeciaWoessner 9 лет назад

Hi Joe & thank you for this informative video. I just purchased an economy flex shaft & it came with no instructions about anything. I found myself online & trying to order what I may need & I honestly didn't have any clue! I wanted to find a "getting started" type of a kit & had no luck. I'm excited about checking out the Beaducation site to see what you guys offer. I am very glad that I'm a little more informed!

@HundredFrogsOne 9 лет назад

Thanks so much for this! I think I make a lot of the same mistakes as your students :D . . . going too fast, not getting all the scratches out before going on to the next grit. I often end up with a weird cloudiness to my pieces, too. This should help tremendously though.

Excellent video easy to understand. Looks like I can use radial wheels with my Dremel if I buy a chuck.

@beaducation 7 лет назад

Exactly, all you need is the right size chuck and likely the one that came with your Dremel is already the right size. Radials are amazing...changed my life!

@giannislymperopoylos5574 6 лет назад

YOU CAN USE OTHER ATTACHMENTS WITH THE FLEX SHAFT ALSO ...YOU EINSTEIN!!! AND BECAUSE IT HAS A MUCH LARGER CHUCK YOU CAN FIT BIGGER ONES...THE ONE HE SHOWS HAS TRAMENDOUS POWER COMPARED TO THE DREMEL...TOO BAD I DIDN KNOW THEIR EXISTANCE TILL I SAW THIS VIDEO.....!! WITH THE FLEXSHAFT ..ANY FLEX SHAFT YOU LOSE TORQUE...BUT THIS MOTOR IS SO BIG...THAT YOU JUST DONT CARE!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!

Check out our video, How to Remove Excess Solder. Regarding your firescale question, you can use Penny Brite, Citric Acid, Sparex and simply sand it off.

@terrianderson185 8 лет назад

This is such an awesome video....I use your techniques daily and refer back to this video often. Since I use the flex shaft almost exclusively now for polishing, I find I'm in need of a good dust collector for those little airborne particles. Do you have any suggestions for a good dust and fume extractor?

@beaducation 8 лет назад

Hi Terri! Happy to hear you've found this video helpful. Unfortunately we don't have a recommendation for a dust collector. We would recommend search for "bench top dust collector" in your favorite search engine. We do sell a Smoke/Fume Absorber, it is best used near your soldering area. Here's a link for you to check it out: www.beaducation.com/zen_products/5124-smoke-fume-absorber

@drapetomania1 9 лет назад

What do you recommend using for getting a mirror finish on completely flat pieces? I have some flat pieces that originally had a mirror finish but got some minor scratches. I tried the 1 micron spiral wheels, but they can't remove the scratches. I then tried the 6 micron wheels. These removed the scratches. After removing the scratches with the 6 micron wheels, I used the 1 micron ones, but I could not get the original mirror finish.

@beaducation 9 лет назад

Hi, To get closer to a mirror finish I work through these sanding papers: www.beaducation.com/zen_products/5402-wet-dry-sanding-paper-mixed-grit-pack. To really reach the mirror finish you need a buffing wheel and a compound like rouge. We don't sell those product, but here is a vid I found that talks about them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GBdPaEjSXwk.html.

@joycejoy7651 8 лет назад

I'm left handed so does the polishing direction stay the same, not sure if the discs are runing in the same direction if using opposite hands....if you see what I mean..cheers

@franklabrake9552 8 лет назад

Excellent presentation - thanks so much. Would you use either red or black rouge on a muslin wheel on the Flex Shaft after the Green Radial, or would this be redundant? Thanks

@beaducation 8 лет назад

+Frank LaBrake Hi Frank! I would say this is a designers choice. But, you're not going to see much difference in the final polish if you follow all of Joe's steps. Have a great day!

@margotgoldberg4942 7 лет назад

Great video....Ive watched it many times! I work in sterling silver metal clay...when I have a scratch I don't seem to be able to remove scratch with silicone wheels and if I use a strong sandpaper then I am left with a brushed finish that I can't rid of with the silicone wheels and radials....any suggestions? Thanks! Margot

@beaducation 7 лет назад

Hummmm, that is a tough one. If the scratch is deep enough, it will be hard to buff out. I am surprised that silicone wheels or radials are not buffing it back to a nice brighter finish. Are you sure you are using the lightest grit silicone wheels at the end? Some are rougher than others and you need to kinda work through the grits in order. You can't go straight from brushed finish to the finest grit, you should use them one by one to get to the that smooth finish. I hope that makes sense :)

@Sandyhardydesign 7 лет назад

I work in Clay as well and the silicone seems to "muck up" technical term...with material… I usually start with a fresh disk or refresh The surface of the silicone disc with a rougher sandpaper

@mohankrishnasamy1456 2 года назад

Thanks. Mate

@beaducation 2 года назад

Glad it helped

@andyhubert7724 8 лет назад

Does one still need to use polishing compounds like rouge if using the polishing wheels? Thank you.

@beaducation 8 лет назад

Hi Andy! You do not need to if you go through the radial wheels all the way to the 1 micro wheel. But, you can also give it a last buff with rough if you would like! Have a great day!

@drewlauritzen9376 2 года назад

In other words, are radial disks and silicone disks a substitute for felt wheels with compound, or must they still be used to achieve the highest finish possible?

@beaducation 2 года назад

It's just another way of polishing your metal. A great quick way to do it.

@adona87 10 лет назад

Forgive me for sounding silly, but are these tools good for shaping/ polishing resin?

@johnniceking413 Год назад

When removing excess solder, should I use all 3 (80, 320 & 600) sandpaper?

@beaducation Год назад

80 might be a little more aggressive than necessary to start, but the concept is correct - you need to go through a series of low to high number grits. The lower number does the heavy lifting and then following up with increasingly higher number grits works the surface back to smooth.
