Rotary tool polishing supply Proxxon 28956, stainless steel polishing accessory

Proxxon 28956 stainless steel polishing accessory is a metal polishing wheel set designed for use with compatible rotary tools. Constructed from stainless steel filaments, the accessory is intended for cleaning, brushing and finishing metal surfaces. It is suited to removing cinders and welding or soldering scale from stainless steel seams, and can also be applied to aluminium and other non-ferrous heavy metals for small repair and detailing work.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction provides durability and resistance to deformation during rotational work. The set includes multiple brush wheels and a mandrel, allowing consecutive replacements for continuous work without frequent interruptions. Its small brush wheel diameter and 2.35 mm shank enable access to tight areas and precise edge or seam treatment while mounted in standard rotary tool collets designed for 3/32" shanks.

Suitable for

• Cleaning and deburring stainless steel welding seams and solder joints
• Removing cinders, scale and light oxidation from metal surfaces
• Detail polishing and surface preparation on aluminium and non-ferrous metals
• Small repairs, model making and precision metal finishing tasks

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel filament brush wheels
• Shank size: 2.35 mm (3/32") compatible with standard rotary tool collets
• Brush wheel diameter: approximately 7/8" (about 22 mm)
• Contents: set of five brush wheels and one mandrel

How to use

Install the mandrel into the rotary tool collet and secure the stainless steel brush wheel onto the mandrel according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Run the rotary tool at a moderate speed appropriate for stainless steel work to avoid overheating and excessive material removal. Apply light, controlled pressure and move the wheel steadily across the seam or area to be cleaned; avoid prolonged dwell in one spot. For aluminium and softer non-ferrous metals use lower speeds and gentler pressure to prevent surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and a dust mask. Test on a hidden area before full treatment to verify the effect on the specific metal. Replace wheels when bristle wear reduces cleaning effectiveness, and follow rotary tool speed limits and mounting instructions for safe use.
