I have a word multi tool .... Occasionally I have to polish stainless steel propellers .... use various grades of wet & dry then use Autosol .. takes quite a time and very tiring on fingers.
Thought using the tool an option if I could get felt pads (or similar) and use with Autosol.
Anybody come across such an item.

I suppose you mean Worx?

I would not have said a multi tool is the right thing for polishing, you
really want much higher sliding speeds. You don't say what size or type
of propellor.

If it is for models, you can get various types of felt pad for Dremel
type machines.

If for something larger, cars are usually polished with something like
an angle grider, but with a buffing pad.

Yes - auto corrcect error

The props are 14" diameter , curved (cupped) blades.

Autosol does a good job, just hard work on the fingers

With autosol if you like, or just an ordinary rouge type polishing compound.

These are good on large flat areas, or gentle curves, but don't think it
would be able to get it between blades, and certainly not of area
between blades.
