Bobs and wheels are available either mounted on stems to fit the Dremel or unmounted and used with a mandrel.

Rock tumbling is harder than it looks. Mohs definitely.

You can get them at Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, or other places that sell Dremel accessories. They're very common and look like white felt cylinders or disks. Home Depot also carries polishing compounds in stick form from Ryobi.

Some rocks aspire to greatness; others are destined to be grit carriers.

If they have a choice hard felt works better on rock. Softer buffs are more fore metal polishing. I'm guessing their stick polishes are also metal polish. If they have green rouge it can be used on turquoise and other softer stones. The softer buffs also.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
