Will this work on metal? I'm looking for an assorted sandpaper pack to polish some rifle bolts.

Anything lower than 800 will probably take off a lot of material if you are prioritizing part tolerance. I used these to smooth out and polish handheld cast bronze pieces and they worked excellently. To get a very smooth and shiny finish, you'll need to go up to 1500-3000 grit and possibly use a polishing compound or jeweler's rouge to get a mirror finish.

Sure does - I use it to polish clear coats on guitars that I paint - but it's GREAT [a[er, and will polish about anything, but Metal for sure ;-)

Depends on the kind of instruments and their uses. I wouldn't use it as a general metal polish such as on the electron gun of an electron microscope.

Yes. That is what it is designed for. Use a soft cloth and rub small amount of paste onto metal polishing as you apply so there is not an excess of paste. polish again lightly with another clean soft cloth after you are finished.

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

I finish large plastic parts for a living and use a Milwaukee M18 impact driver with quick change drill bits all the time. Wouldn't recommend using them on metal but wood and plastic not a problem, much faster than an normal drill. Quick change spade bits work really well with the impact driver.

I haven't used it on anything metal, but I really don't think it would have any problems doing any kind of job. So far mine has worked great for my needs.

I would never chance it. There are silver polishes that work like a charm. I only use this on my copper.

This thing will polish dull metal to a full shine.... I would not use this on your shoes It only has one speed and its extremely fast. It would eat right through the leather... probably even with a softer brush. Thats my two sense.

I would imagine so. I used this on stainless steel, brushed nickel, and a few other generic metals and it works just fine. I even used it to buff a scratch out of my glasses.

If you have a picatinny rail it will. It's not the strongest metal, you might want to look at another brand.

Yep, no problem. I've used it on plastic as well as other materials. It is such a thin layer with rich metallic color that it works on almost any surface.

Yes, it will work on metal. I used it on metal but did take two coats to cover evenly. Keep in mind that it has more of a matte finish, and not at all glossy as the can cap would have you believe.

The rigid oscillating edge belt/ spindle sander is worth checking too I have one and it really is worth every cent on wood I've never used it on metal. Which ever one you choose it's important to get the right sand paper

This is a very nice little hammer that I use for putting roll pins in AR15 rifles and with projects I use my dermal tool on. It works well for that, the 5 heads makes it good for other small projects without chances of putting dings on your project. That being said I don't know much about metal stamping but hopefully what I use it for will help you.

Yes. It will remove anything thats on metal. Even works on powder coats and bedliner. Probably also works on undercoats.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

I've never tried it, so I don't know. It does a great job polishing empty ammo brass using standard polishing media (generally material like dried/ground corn cobs or walnut shells). My thought is that this unit would do a great job polishing rocks/semi-precious gemstones with appropriate media (different sands). I'm an engineer, so I would also guess the abrasiveness of sand and various rocks/stones would also cause quite a bit of wear inside the Lyman Tumbler. Just a guess. Ask the manufacturer ... they might be able to help!
