    CHEAP PNEUMATIC MOLD POLISHING HOLDERS ON EBAY?

    Has anyone tried using the cheap (~$60.) Chinese pneumatic file/stone holders often advertised on ebay? I need to come up with a polishing solution on short notice. Thanks for any advice.

    Hello.

    Im a Rubber injection mold polisher.. (mostly SS MOD)

    I use this one for big surface (more than a inch ...) i use it with regular stone or supra stone. It work realllly fast ...
    Super Hand Pneumatic Filer

    When i need fast but in a smaller area i use this one.. also goes pretty fast and use it mostly with supra stone. The stroke is adjustable but at is maximum its about half of the first tool

    I also use a profiler.. this one work sideways and have a stroke of about .750`` ... i only use it with supra stone and work waaaay slower than the first 2 tool.. (the right picture)
    PowerHand, Reciprocating Profilers

    Finally we use real electric ultrasonic only with supra stone ... these remove material reaaaaaaaly fast .. pretty hard to avoid digging in a really precise place.. but we use it a lot... they are really expensive !

    All this to say about 6 months ago we bought a bunch of these to give a try ... and many guys like it ... but you gotta keep in mind it work with air .. there is a certain stroke and they dig to ...
    But for the money .. i would absolutely buy it.. none of it broke on us yet.. it also depend the use you wanna make from it ...
