The Radial Bristle Disc has a flexible bristle design that can be used for cleaning, pre-polishing, semi-finishing, blending, and texturing. It's suitable for gold, silver, copper, pewter, and brass applications, particularly for removing the oxides from jewelry without compounds and for cleaning and maintaining tiny, hard-to-reach areas. 3M Abrasive Systems Division, 3M Center, Building 223-6N-01, St. Paul, MN 55144-1000; (651) 575-1943.
The Recycle-A-Rama 2000 offers a simple and inexpensive method of recycling waste waters and recovering precious metals from mass finishing operations. Waste waters go into a decanter/filter unit and are pumped to a stainless-steel high-pressure filter vessel for sediment recovery. Water is then processed through special water-cleaning vessels. C.C.
