But the material on the wheel wears out exceedingly fast. But using these buffs will be expensive. If they weren't so expensive, I'd give them a five-star rating. these buffing wheels do the job, they get into all those little cracks and smooth them out. To give an example: I fashioned a 1 1/2 x 1 inch ladybug for a neclace pendant. Otherwise, I can't do without my Dremel tool, most versatile tool in the shop. These wheels put the finishing touches on the pendant beautifully, but they both were used up and I was left with a small silver round thing and a shank.
I could make it work if they were around $1 each, but not at this price. I thought these would be great for taking the fuzz off some carvings I made with my Carvewright machine. They begin to work but wear out so quickly that you end up using several for one job. I still have not found the perfect accessory to smooth these carvings. That adds too much cost to the project.
I needed to sand the inside of a routered groove on several things I built. It may work great with other applications. When I saw this I thought it would be great for sanding where the router bit fuzzed up the grain. It worked but wore out so quickly I can't afford to use them for all I have to do.
They Work as designed (WAD). The EZ lock works well and the buffer are great for small jobs. Just like sanding, let the tool do the work. Digging in may buff slightly faster but the wheeels will wear out twice as fast.
I've become addicted to these buffs and use them to touch-clean soft metal and to give a final brushed finish to metal parts. Now, if I could only get them wholesale somewhere. I do have to agree with previous reviewers that these buffs go quickly, especially when used on sharp edges, but so far, I haven't been able to duplicate the result with any other brush or sander. These buffs allow one to skip at least two steps in final polishing and the saved time is entirely worth this somewhat pricey product.
