It is difficult to recommend tools because it is important point how you would like to use selected tools and devices for mirror polishing by hand.

Tool and device depend on depth, width and work condition of rib.
We recommend to use POLYTOR (ultrasonic finishing device) for grinding and polishing small part difficult to grind and/or polish.
For your speedy work, we also recommend RECIPRON and RUBRON.
Please ask Minitor sales staff for more detail.

Finished surface depends on condition before working and working method.
Please note that it might be difficut to get exact surface roughness by polishing compound.
Please refer to "Explanation for Polishing Compounds".

Diamond = Nonferrous/Nonmetal・・・Diamond is the hardest in existing materials, but it is not suitable for working on iron-based metals due to high chemical affinity against iron-based metals, clogging when grinding and cutting and speed of abrasion. And also, it carbonizes at 700℃.
CBN = Ferrous・・・CBN (borazine) is the second hardest in existing materials and does not change its characteric of low chemical affinity against iron-based metals with high thermal conductivity under high temperature and oppressive working condition.

Please refer to "Explanation for Elastic Points".

Please refer to "Explanation for Cutters".

The important point for plane forming by hand is working skill.
We recommend the reciprocating file RECIPRON and the lateral swing file RUBRON producing performance close to hand work.

It depends on working material and working pressure, but maximum rotation speed is recommended for diamond tools, carbide cutters, etc.
For grinding stones, elastic points, radial sanders and felt buff, it depends on working contents. Please ask Minitor sales staff.
