Jewelling tool question

[Diggerdog]

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a jewelling stick. Not sure of the right name for it but the stick you can use in a drill for jewelling clips and such. Thanks guys. Dave

Not certain, but what I think you might be referring to is Cratex abrasive sticks. Do a quick Google search for "Cratex" or you should be able to get them from industrial supply sources like MSC, McMaster-Carr, ENCO, or National Supply.

Brownells. There's two kinds. One is the Cratex in a holder, and the other is like a wire brush used with abrasive.
Jeweling tool, Damascening tool, or Engine Turning Brush is what to look for...

Thanks guys. I found what I needed. Brownell's is a great store. Wish we had one up here. Cheers.

In the meantime, break a wooden pencil in half, chuck the end with the rubber eraser in your drill press chuck, add a little valve grinding compound, and go to work.
