The Kitiki Magnetic Polisher is ideal for polishing jewellery and metals, particularly small, delicate, intricate shapes that don't need a lot of finishing.

It's very popular for adding a final lustre to anything made from Art Clay, bronze clay, copper clay, and PMC metal clays - we use one in our shop for polishing the finger print jewellery that we make for our customers.

You can also create attractive finishes on brass, bronze, coins, copper, fingerprint keepsakes. glass, gold, jewellery, metals, minerals, model parts, rocks, shells, silver, small treasures, and stones. And there are diverse archeological, engineering, geological, and home-hobby applications.

It consists of a motor base with four rotating magnets, a lift-off acrylic pot with a lid, 45gms of tiny magnetic-steel pins, and 175gms of cleaner. There's an on-off switch on the front with an integral red light.

It's quieter, quicker, and simpler to fill and empty than a conventional rotary tumbler. It's guaranteed for a year and, in the unlikely event of an accident or a fault, our supplier has spares in stock.

 

THE KITIKI MAGNETIC POLISHER: NOTES

The Kitiki Magnetic Polisher.

The CE-marked fully-enclosed motor is rated at 230V 6W, so it can use a regular mains socket. Since the polisher uses less power than a fridge bulb, the cost of using it is about a penny a day. It measures 115mm x 115mm x 240mm, weighs about 2.5kg, and comes with a 1.5 metre cable ending in a UK 5A-fused plug.

The motor spins a heavy disc with four crescent-shaped high-power magnets. The rotating magnetic field makes the pins jump randomly and the collective tiny impacts gradually polish and burnish the surface. A fan, built into the motor, keeps the polisher body cool.

Rubber feet stop it creeping across the worktop and falling off when you're not there. The acrylic drum holds about six or seven average rings. It's quieter, quicker, and simpler to fill and empty than a conventional rotary tumbler.

 

Using the polisher is simple, so there's no manual. Quarter-fill the drum with water, and add the stainless-steel pins and your work. Add a fine sprinkle of cleaning compound, about a quarter of a teaspoon, put the lid on, and let it run for 20 minutes. Experiment with the amount of water, the number of pieces, and the running time, until you get the desired finish.

The 1300 rpm motor, our own design, is fan-cooled so will run for hours, although 30 minutes is usually more than enough. It's a pure-copper armature deisgn: more powerful and reliable than a capacitor motor. The motor base is quite heavy and has a substantial construction as it contains rotating magnets. Vents on three sides allow the fan to keep the motor cool. Don't stand it right next to anything metal or electronic.

They've been engineered and comprehensively tested for the UK, the EU, and most other countries. They're CE Marked and comply with EU safety standards.

 

The drum is made of clear acrylic. However, the continual impact of so many tiny metal pieces will eventually give the inside a matt finish: this is normal.

Although it comes with 45gms of pins, try about 35gms first. With some shapes, fewer might be better, so experiment. However, it won't take off scratches and unfinished edges or corners, so you need to make sure your work looks good first.
