Polishing wheels:
Your kit includes several felt
polishing wheels in assorted shapes. These
accessories are useful for removing tarnish and
weathering on metal and for polishing plastics. They
require a special shank with a screw tip. To prepare a
polishing wheel, screw the felt onto the shank tip.
Reverse to remove. Your kit also includes polishing
grease, which you can use in small quantities to aid
polishing metal. Lower speeds are best for these
accessories.
Router bits:
An assortment of
router bits is available for
purchase from your Steele®
dealer. These accessories carve
patterns in wood and plastic that
can be used for ornamental purposes or for joining (such as when
cutting a dado).
Collets:
Your kit includes several collets of
various sizes to accommodate accessories with
different-sized shanks. Replace collets as
described on page 14.
Threaded-tip shanks:
Threaded-tip shanks are
used for felt polishing wheels. Shanks with a long
threaded tip are used for pointed polishing
wheels while shanks with short threaded tips are
used for round felt polishing wheels. To install a
felt polishing wheel, simply screw it onto the
threaded shank.
Screw shanks:
Screw shanks are used for
mounting cutting wheels.
Sanding band shanks:
Sanding band shanks
feature an expanding core that holds disposable
bands securely. To contract the core to remove or
install a band, loosen the screw. Tightening the
screw expands the core.
