I really don't know if will polish rock but, it does a grrrreat job on polishing brass with the right medium. We had some brass shells that had not been polished for years and we turned it on an let it run for 4 hours an they look brand new. I sure hope this helps you.

Does a great job with brass casings. Don't know why it wouldn't work with rocks too -- as long as they are not too soft.

What kind of rocks? I'll try and let you know. I know it works great on brass shells.

No. To polish rocks you need to use some kind of polishing media and water. I think it would make a bit of a mess with a vibratory polisher.

By usig the proper mandrel buffing pads and wheels can be used. Soft pads will require a polishing medium. I have used my dremmel for polishing everything from brass knobs to fine jewelry. Stones I am not too sure of. All I can say there is lay your money down and give it a try.

I wouldn't recommend trying to polish the face of granite, but if you have to this can work along with some polish pads.

It would work for that but be careful at what level of coarse you use. This is only the coarse stone, you may want to finish with a finer grit, after using the coarse finish with fine, this will insure a closer fit in the end. they clean easily and remove steel like sand paper on wood. Hope this helps.

Of course it will work, but only as wax tool. For polish, you'll need more speed that only a corded drill would.

As a stone worker of 20 years I would strongly recommend against using this on marble. Having said that, I've never tried it so I'm not 100% sure it won't work. I think you would be better off hiring somebody to polish your counters.

I used it on black grained granite. Worked like a charm.Marble is softer than granite. Take your time and don't rush the process. Use course grit and work your way to the fine grit. I would use rubber boots, water will go everywhere. It should work fine. Keep the grinding wheels fairly flat, or you could knock the diamond segments off the wheel.

no you cant polish rocks, this kit is primarily suited for metals and some plastics, for rocks you need lapidary equipment made to polish rocks and jem stones. there are various methods to this so search around.

I don't see why not, I used it to polish concrete all the way down into the aggregate and most of that is rock. The tricky thing will be how you secure the gemstones and rocks in order to use the polisher on them.

Sorry, I don't use tumbler for rocks, but for polishing brass, so cannot help.

It depends how big the rocks are, but I would say yes. Pneumatic tires are great for that.

Yes this will polish rocks. I'm doing my first load now, and am on the final polish cycle. I used about a table spoon of coarse, then medium, pre-polish, and now polish. About 2 days for each step. It holds about 2.5 lbs of rock.

Probably could. I have been grinding pavers, rock and granite without an issue. May want to think about using water to keep the dust down

Yes. Wrap the rock loosely in any fabric - towel, rag, whatever - and smack it with a hammer. Be careful not to have too much fun with that or you will have lots and lots of little rocks.

I would say no, I use their buffing brush for minerals and it works pretty good!

I used it to restore pinball machine metal,this machine did not last long and burned out .I bought another brand with a plastic case and a piece of metal cut through the side. I'm sure it will polish rocks but sharp edges will damage the plastic case .I would stick to one with a metal case.

I used this polishing kit on granite and it worked perfectly. Every article I have seen on the internet regarding carrera marble does not appear to recommend machine polishing but the one youtube video showed hand polishing with similar diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. I think that since marble is so much softer than granite you have to be extremely careful and perhaps skilled to avoid damaging the surface with a tool like this.
