The sheet-metal-polishing tool uses inflatable rubber wheels and abrasive pads to produce a shine on stainless steel. Different wheel attachments give this tool its versatility. The right wheels can give the sheet-metal polisher other functions as well. Flap wheel sanders are attached to the tool to sand or remove paint from surfaces (figure A). To use a flap wheel sander with a sheet-metal-polishing tool, move the machine back and forth over the surface to be sanded. You don't need to apply much pressure: doing so might damage the surface. The inflatable contour wheel is a powerful attachment used to remove rust (figure B). Inflate the wheel to make it convex for working on flat surfaces; deflate it to make it concave for getting into curves and crevices. To use it, work the machine back and forth, and don't apply a lot of pressure. To polish a cylindrical piece of metal, loop a belt drive around the surface to be polished and around a rubber roller inside the polishing tool (figure C). When turned on, the polishing tool rotates the belt. The user slowly moves the tool up and down to polish the metal.
