The "Bob" is an old shilling (5 new pence) - as in "thirty bob" meaning one pund ten shillings (£1.50).

smackaroos/buckaroos is another name for money here in OZ.
Tmuir, I'm interested in the cleaning of your SR1 wheels and stuff.
I haven't ever polished up the mazak, but did the wet and dry take the fine lines in the flywheel. (I'm yet to get to the thread to look at the pics).
I have grades of wet and dry from 1000 to 2000. Would they be ok?
Lewis, not sure if you have a dremel yet, but try the cheaper ones that use the same idea as a dremel. I'd avoid any battery, or rechargable type though.
I have a dremel, my brother has a much cheaper type one, works well though.
Also, don't buy the original dremel bits, unless it's real specialised. They are just too dear. I get a $12 (4pound) assorted pack of fittings when I run out
Good luck mate

| Ive used a combination of wet and dry, with wadding polish and that seems to work well.I start off with the wet and dry for the stubborn marks, and finish off with the wadding to get rid of any small scratches. |

Cheers Mike
The wet and dry didn't take out the light grooved lines out of the flywheels?

Not really - depends on the pressure used - I would only ever use 800/1000 grade paper - that or I tend to use 'used' wet and dry which has just a hint of abrasiveness. The wadding polish will sort out any final light scratching. |

Ok, thanks Mike
I have 1000 to 2000 grade, so I might try that on my TE1 wheels, then carefully on my flywheels

That'll be fine!! (no pun intended), I tend to 'damp' the area with wadding polish and use wet and dry on top! Everyone seems to have their own approach to this polishing lark!! |

Im not a fan of 'power polishers' at all Lew - but I am sure a polishing mop is in the dremel range . . . |
