Can't do that -- hippos are an endangered species.

Oh, OK. I thought maybe I was doing something extraordinarily bad.Chipperman said:I don't believe he was talking about the Q-tip in the Dremel, but a grinding wheel.

Rockstar said:I don't believe anybody with the brains of a pissant would be using a grinding wheel on a Dremel for polishing a feedramp. If you use the soft, white polishing pad that attaches to the mandrel with a screw, and a little Flitz or Simichrome, with the Dremel set on its lowest speed, I hope you've got a few hours to spare, if you plan on changing any metal contours.

Kingsport, TN - but I am haze gray and underway right now....
uglit said:Use the Gray polishing wheel and gray polishing point in the Dremel. You have to use really high rpms, and try really hard for a long time to remove a lot of metal with such gear. One minute or less with each tip will suffice. If such does not get rid of the marks, then a touch or two with a (dressed-true) mounted carborundum point will do so (about 10 seconds). Then polish out the grinding marks with the gray, soft-rubbery like attachments.
But Tuner, how do I orient my barrel in the arbor press for the most efficient removal of those tool marks?1911Tuner said:uglit...Find a blacksmith...one with a really big hammer and anvil...Use your imagination.
In the absence of a blacksmith, an arbor press will do.
Cheers!

bowline said:Well, Tuner, I'll be home in March, I hope.
Might come by for the coffee you aren't on the coast.
