gioarmani Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Awesome. I'm guessing one could buy buffing attachments for that cord; that is if the stone bit removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 It is removable, and I think it takes regular dremel type bits, I am not sure about the last part as I don't have any dremel bits, but they look about the same size...

FxrAndy Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Lol.

RWG Technical Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Excellent post, thank you. I use the same type of set up, with only one difference, I removed the cover around the buffing wheel. Why? Well when the part you are polishing grabs onto the wheel and pulls out of your hand, it can end up jammed between the cover and the spinning wheel, and cause a lot of damage before you can shut the unit down. With the cover removed the worse case is that a part gets pulled out of my hand and flings down or back. I have the area underneath and behind protected with a soft towel, no damage when it hits it... Well done and detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Im really obsessive about my watchs and cars. If they are just a little bit dirty or unkempt It really bothers me. I had my whole rear fender repainted because of a small dent you could not see unless you were right on top of It, and even then It was very difficult to see. The guy at the body shop thought I was nuts. Thanks so much for this fantasic tut, I will most defenetely give It a go, nice job Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpie007 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Nice, But i use it slightly different. I polish the whole bracelet without taping it of, then the middle is the very shiney and on the sides most scratches are gone(and too shiney), then i tape off the middle and finish off the sides Them comes the polish cloth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deniz21 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 great tutorial sir but one little question for an omega PO, do i need a steel or satin brushed finishing pad? there are so many of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numptyj Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/7/1118/1342.aspx would any of these be recommended for rebrushing an omega bracelet and a rolex datejust? if so which one would be best? thanks J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Diddy Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/7/1118/1342.aspx would any of these be recommended for rebrushing an omega bracelet and a rolex datejust? if so which one would be best? thanks J What is the difference between a 'finishing pad' and generic 'Scothbrite pads'? I have read on gen forums that many owners are using Scotchbrite pads to re-store brushed finish on steel bracelets? Are the two pads similar or are there big differences? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 This is a Scotch-Brite pad: This is a refinishing pad: As is this: I've found the refinishing pads to give a higher quality finish than the scotchbrite scour pads. I believe it has to do with the consistent grain found on the refinishing blocks which results in a better looking grain and finish on the steel.
