Mounted Mini Mops are a great little polishing tool<\/strong>, they are mounted into a spindle so they can be used in a pendant motor or Dremel<\/strong> style machine. They are used for polishing metal – depending on what metal you are wanting to polish you need to select the correct compound for the desired result.<\/p>\n

These stitched mops hold together much more readily than other calico mops and cotton yarn mops you can also apply a little more pressure when polishing.<\/p>\n

Mini mops grades sizes – options:<\/h2>\n

These stitched mini mops are also available in 3 grades:<\/p>\n

Dry Sisal – coarse for pre-polishing and surface preparation<\/p>\n

G material – medium<\/p>\n

WDR – soft for finishing<\/p>\n

They are also available in 2 sizes 6mm thick and 12mm thick. Also on a 3mm spindle and on a 2.35mm(3\/32″) which is more popular for Jewellery making.<\/p>\n

Which compound:<\/h2>\n

For Jewellery – Gold, Silver polishing<\/strong> I would only use the G and WDR mops the Dry Sisal might be a bit too aggressive. Use these stitched mops with rouge <\/a>or Menzerna <\/a>compounds for a bright shiny finish.<\/p>\n

Aluminium, bronze, brass, copper polishing<\/strong> all three mop types would be suitable. I would recommend Apollo <\/a>compound for cutting, 2000D <\/a>for a good finish and 309BX<\/a>\u00a0for a really brilliant finish.<\/p>\n

Stainless Steel polishing<\/strong> and other hard metals – starting with the dry sisal with Abracut <\/a>compound is best, then 2000D <\/a>compound and FF9 <\/a>white compound for a really great bright mirror finish.<\/p>\n

What tool should I use my mounted mini mops in?<\/h2>\n

We recommend a speed of 12,000 RPM<\/strong> with these mops and a machine with variable speed is best. \u00a0Normally used with a flexshaft, pendant motor, micro motor, dremel or hobby tool. depending on our application.<\/p>\n

These are sold per 10 but a kit is also available.<\/p>\n

For Jewellers<\/h2>\n

Dry sisal is not generally so useful for jewellery though it works well for larger silverware. The WDR and G mops are the most useful and can be used with both cutting and polishing compound. The WDR is very slightly softer than the G mops.<\/p>\n

An ideal size for jewellery is 25mm dia x 6mm on a 2.35mm spindle.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
