Review on Dremel 463 Rubber Polishing Point by Aaron Shaw

Be careful with the grit, if used incorrectly it can damage the finish and leave indentations in the hard brass. That being said, nothing removes excess solder from wind instrument joints quite like these guys. If you need to solder in very tight places where the buff won't fit (like behind the tips of a second pipe valve that slides up the valve body), this way you can *cleanly* remove any exposed traces of solder and have them removed. all excesses in your work. Once you've removed the excess, there will sometimes be a streak or spot, no matter how good your soldering skills are. This is a quick and inexpensive way to rid the tool of any residue. Sometimes rubbing that area is enough to hide it - look at everything that's so hidden on the new antlers - but sometimes you need to take it all away. If you find you need to be this clean, solder streaks that have etched into the brass surface are removed very gently, just like a buff on a large floor polisher, only in very tiny spots. It's very abrasive though, so I use it as carefully as possible, trying to blend out any shallow gouges or pits it might leave, then rub the area aggressively before degreasing, and then spot varnish. I'm still hoping to find the exact same tips with a lower grit, but for now this is all I can find that is actually made by Dremel. There are some great German lures like this in a variety of grits but mostly they are barrel shaped or simple reels. No one can enter such tiny spaces. Highly recommended!
