I had this pair of edge slickers made up to mimic what I use on my ryobi grinder machine. My edge slicker tool is much larger (on both sides). These are the sizes that I use most often in slicking the edges on my work. These can be chucked into a hand drill or drill press. These are made from aluminum.

This is a sample of the edges I'm able to achieve with them:

I have the opportunity to have these made up and offer them to the members here. The price would be $22.50/each plus shipping.

I think you've figured out a niche - supplying us new timers.

I'm interested for sure. Let me think about it. When do you need to know?

Right this very minute. :) Just kidding. Let me know whenever you're ready.

Kate:

Yes, that is birdseye maple. We made those grips for that gun. To my knowledge, we've been the only ones able to make actual wood grips for it. We're in the process of making some for the same gun from some afzelia burl - very similar to the amboyna burl I had Ed/Bear Man make my mauls from.

I'll send you a pm on the pricing for the edge slickers. (It is mentioned though in my original posting - $22.50/each plus shipping).

I'd be interested in two if they can be made to fit a rotary tool. The spindle would need to be between 1/8" and 5/32" in thickness.

Ed:

We'll be able to do the smaller diameter of spindle for them. However, we're going to have to use a different material to ensure durability of the spindle. The aluminum would most likely bend at that small of a diameter. That being said, there may be a price difference for making them in this way. I've put an inquiry in with the maker with respect to that, and should hear something back fairly soon. I'll post the results as soon as the info is available.

I machine parts and run a big CNC shop and had thought of using aluminum for slicking but decided against it. If you use compounds of any sort sooner or later you will start transfering aluminum oxide to the surface of your work.

It would be black while wet but would probably turn mottled grey after a while. What has been your experience so far?
