Could this model be used to polish stones/jewelry ??

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've used it mostly to work/polish glass and it works great for this medium. Sorry can't be of more help.

The short answer is yes. I don't use it for that, but it does polish rocks very well. You may wish to get the smaller model. It's a little less expensive and does the same job on a smaller load of rocks. Hope I have helped.

I would not recommend it, stone is somewhat degradable. Maybe if you use the coarser side of the stone.

I haven't tried on anything like gems of stones, it works on silver well though. Sorry

Yes, it looks like this grit will polish rocks up to a hardness of 8. keep your rocks the same hardness and they should eventually polish up decently.

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 think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

I'm sure it can. I've engraved on steel knives and haven't had any problems with it not working. It would take a very steady hand to engrave small peices of jewelry. It vibrates like crazy, but once you get the hang of it anything is possible.

Yes. You can use this on fine jewelry, metal and gemstones. Great on gold, platinum, titanium and gemstones including diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire. Not for use on softer stones such as coral, ivory, amber, malachite, pearls, opal, jade or turquoise. After you open the lid, grab the tip of the basket post and let soak in the basket for 1/2 hour. Use the included brush for heaver dirt. Rinse w/ cool water, and let dry on a towel. It does great job for our jewelry.

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.

I had experience polishing silver bracelets and it did an excellent job. You just have to be careful not to use too much compound and to select appropriate tool speed. Otherwise, you may damage silver or gold coating (in case jewelery is coated).

Yes you can. It will clean and polish but don't use it to try to remove scratches.

Yes I believe its possible. This flush cutter is meant for "softer" metals such as jewellery.

I used it to repair a broken small wooden sculpture and it worked perfect for that. I haven't tried it for jewelry making, but imagine it should work.

Yes! Very well. You have to check up on the rocks twice a day to make sure they are rotating. I polish rocks in just about a week.

You probably could but it wouldn't be my first choice. Something like the DMT diamond hone would probably work better. Works very well for knives though.

The fixed model has a stone that is held stable with a metal strap and two screws. One could remove the screws and reassemble though this seems recreational since the stone can be cleaned in place.
