It is called a burnishing tool, if you need one, let me know, I can hook you up with someone who can get them for you. greg@highlightsign.com

I know the thingy, it's like a rotary wire brush, with a guide pip in the middle.

Not sure where you are in the world but I know of a company called EDMO which I think has outlets worldwide. I am quite sure that I have seen them in there catalogue. Failing that RS Components or Farnells would be another place to look. Maybe even SnapOn?

What's that thingy called?

Hello all,

I used to work in avionics a few years ago and we used to have a tool that I cannot seem to find or identify with a name. Let me describe it:

Let's say you're attaching a ring connector to part of the frame (for a ground). In order to remove the paint or other coatings, you attach this abrasive device to a drill. The device has a pilot point on the end, which rides in the hole you previously drilled and makes a perfect circle of clean metal for good bonding.

What's that thing called and where can I buy one?

Thanks!
