Finishing bright cut silver

[tdelewis]

I need to know what type of buffing wheel and compound I need to buff after pickle. Also, there is a type of light buffing that is used for a final finish. There is also a grey wheel that is used to grind the edges. Where do I get the items I need. Currently I am doing all my polishing by hand. It takes time and my fingers and wrist get stiff. This is for bright cut Western engraving.

Cratex makes a rubber/abrasive impregnated wheels for grinding non ferrous metals, comes in coarse medium and fine. This is probably what you are thinking about for grinding the edges. Cratex also makes a variety of points for using in a rotary tool such as a Fordom.
As for polishing I do not know about the engraved, but for general silver I use a stitched muslin wheel with either bobbing compound, (the coarsest) or Tripoli compound (finer then the bobbing), followed up with re.d rouge on either a stitched muslim wheel or a hard felt wheel. Fabuluster can also be used for a final polish
