Polishing points and pads clean, shine, and buff metal, wood, stone, leather, and other compatible materials. They mount to a shaft or mandrel, which connects to the rotary tool. Points have an abrasive-impregnated rubber tip to clean and define grooves, remove burs and scratch marks left by grinding and sanding, and smooth rough spots on surfaces. Pads are fabric or fiber discs that flex to conform to crevices, contours, and holes. They have a lighter touch than points and are sometimes used to apply polishing chemicals.
