Rotary tool polishing supply Proxxon 28952 — stainless steel polishing wheel Ø 2.22 cm

Rotary tool polishing supply Proxxon 28952 — stainless steel polishing wheel Ø 2.22 cm is a compact accessory designed for handheld rotary tools and mini-drills. The stainless steel wire wheel provides a balance of flexibility and stiffness for light polishing, burnishing and surface finishing of metals and other hard materials. The small diameter supports precision work, restoration and spot treatments where controlled abrasive action is required.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction ensures durability and consistent abrasive performance when removing rust, oxidation and light surface contamination. The wire-brush design conforms to contoured shapes, allowing effective polishing of recesses, edges and irregular surfaces without excessive material removal. Supplied as a set with multiple wheels and a mandrel, it is ready for repeated use and convenient replacement during extended projects.

Suitable for

• Deburring and edge cleanup on metal and castings
• Polishing and burnishing stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
• Matting or preparing surfaces for painting and lacquering
• Cleaning electrical components and removing corrosion
• Working on plastics, semi-precious stones, stone and wood for light finishing

Key specifications

• Polishing wheel material: stainless steel wire
• Wheel diameter: 2.22 cm (≈7/8")
• Shank diameter: 2.35 mm (3/32") compatible with standard rotary tool collets
• Set contents: multiple brush wheels and one mandrel for mounting
• Designed for handheld rotary tools and mini-drills at moderate speeds

How to use

Fit a wheel onto the mandrel and secure it in the tool collet or chuck with the correct shank size. Operate the rotary tool at a moderate speed appropriate for the workpiece material; start at a lower speed and increase as needed while maintaining control. Apply light, even pressure and move the wheel across the surface in steady passes to remove burrs, rust or surface imperfections. Allow the wire wheel to conform to contours rather than forcing it, and avoid prolonged spot contact to prevent overheating or unintended material removal.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including eye protection and a dust mask when polishing. Test on a scrap piece or an inconspicuous area to determine optimal speed and pressure for the specific material. Replace worn wheels to maintain effective polishing and avoid uneven results.
