Hmmm, that's an oscillating sander - meaning it rapidly moves the sanding head in very small back and forth motions. I don't think that would be a good thing as it would be sanding into the cutting edge half the time. but if it worked I guess that's what counts.

Thanks, Yeah, that back and forth movement bothered me first, but it didn't prove as a problem luckily. I understand the drawback. I'm not saying this is the best tool for this job, of course not. I'm saying: "Wow, I can make good edge with 29 € oscillating-sander-thingie!" Maybe I should have been more clear from the start. Multipurpose tool for like sculpting and carpentry and stuff...and for sword tinkering as well, IMO. I'm thinking I'd try polishing a blade with this thing. We'll see what happens. Heh, I like this tool, oscillating-sander-thingie. It's like a big electric toothbrush for swords. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Very true these are great multitools; I bet it'll polish well with the right medium. What are you going to polish with? I wonder if it will make a better buffing pattern vs a belt?

I actually don't know yet. Good ideas are welcome. I've used that brown stuff that comes with dremel. I've also used product called "autosol". We used it in art school for polishing copper plates. I have to find fitting polishing pad. I guess, if I don't find compatible pads I can just make some, because pads are attached with some kind of velcro. I blended the ugly secondary bevel from my Albion. I think It'll be nice after I finish it. ![nobevel.jpg](//storage.forums.net/1694914/thumbnailer/g5eEgWGqFx9zY0EQrFbt.jpg) (sorry for the crappy picture... wretched smartphone)

First thing I pictured was cutting a Grey scotchbrite pad to fit onto the sanding head. Then I'd attach a stiff sponge and use a compound to buff.
