a job for the slow speed Viel
#8
I wanted to try the new Scotch-Brite medium grit belt. I have an old open end wrench. I found this wrench in 1973 under the basement stairs in a house I had just purchased. Being a tool collector and a twenty three year old of very modest means, I cleaned up the wrench and put it in my tool box. I have no idea how long it was under the stairs in the damp basement. I cleaned it up at the time the best I could.

I polished half the wrench with the medium Scotch-Brite belt. Using the slow speed, the wrench did not heat up. The difference is noticeable. I finished with the fine grit S-B belt. I made a photo of the half and half wrench, and will post it later.

My modified variable speed Viel continues to open new doors.
