Step 8: Samples
Here are a few samples:
The chisel was very rusted – normal rust removal would have required much original steel grinding to remove the deep pits that a wire brush would not have touched. Check out the stamp that was revealed after cleaning.
The entire project was started because I bought this sweet plane that was totally rusted. I only paid a few bucks, but knew that a used non-rusted one was worth quite a chunk of change. After the tank proces it took about an hour of going over it with the light wire brush wheel on the dremel to shine it up – but it would have been impossible without the electrolysis first.

Thanks for the info.
These pads work on angle grinders. Preferably, the grinder would be a variable speed model.
The [diamond] grit range is 50 to 3000 grit (plus buff grades). I used the 400, 800, 1500 and 3000 grit pads, just as you would move to progressively finer grades of sand paper, when sanding wood and such.
You can extend the life of the pads using oil to lubricate and cool. Normally, you'd use water, but water and woodworking equipment just doesn't seem to go together well.
