Rubber wheels
I am looking for the smooth, grey wheels that Swest used to carry prior to
the Stuller buyout. These wheels were marketed as useful for polishing anything from metal to stone and are used on a flexshaft. I have found that nothing compares to them but can't find them anymore. Any clues? chris |

thanks, but definitely not Rio Grande or any of the other better known
sources. I think I might need a lapidary source for these as that's what they were originally used for. chris wrote in message ... LOL, you can be a meenie and I'll tell, Rio Grande.

They carry the wheels you're looking for. I think their physical location is in GA. The wheels work on stone, glass, etc. The wheels are made by Grobet, but you won't find them in most jewelry supply catalogs. They are rated for use on porcelain, stones and glass. The stock number on the box of coarse wheels that I have is 11.917. HTH Barbara Dream Master www.dreamweaverstudio.com Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~~ Albert Camus |

I do not know about the gray wheels, but Dedeco made something called a
"white flexi" I got the 1 inch diameter wheels and I have never seen another long lasting and very useful. In one of my lives I am a dentist and these are useful on metals and ceramic materials. They give a nice finish that can be improved by some of the softer wheels that wear out rapidly. One wheel could polish a hundred crowns and still be almost full sized. The step before rubber wheeling was the use of a greenstone or a mizzy heatless wheel. Charles Friedman DDS Atlanta, moving to Ventura |
