Uniform-Finish Polishing Stones
Prevent uneven polishing marks. Unlike other polishing stones, these stones never leave your work surface for a uniform finish. You move them around with a lapping rod (sold separately), which you can lift off to pause your work—instead of removing the stone. Choose the stone shape that best matches the contour of your work surface.
Lubricate your work surface with either a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant. To make sure the lapping rod doesn’t slip off of the polishing stone as you work, create a small indentation in the stone with a diamond grinding bit. For best results, install the lapping rod in a reciprocating polisher.
Aluminum oxide stones, also known as India stones, scrape away material slowly to give you more control over how much material you remove. They are good for the final stage of polishing.

Polishing Stones for Soft Metals
Prevent scratches, tears, and gouges in aluminum, brass, and other soft metal molds and dies as you polish. These stones are softer than standard aluminum oxide stones. Thanks to their aluminum oxide abrasive, they slowly remove material to give you more control over how much you take off. Polish by hand or mount them in power tools with a compatible holder. To keep debris from clogging the surface, apply a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant during use.

Polishing Stone Assortments for Soft Metals
Stock stones of different grits for every stage of polishing soft metal molds and dies. The stones in these assortments work on aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. They are softer than standard aluminum oxide stones—they won’t scratch or gouge your workpiece. Their aluminum oxide abrasive removes material slowly to give you more control over how much you take off. Use a holder to polish by hand or with a power tool (both sold separately). To keep debris from building up, apply a water-soluble or oil-based lubricant while you work.
