🔧 What it does & how to use
A burnisher works by smoothing and compressing the surface of a metal through pressure and friction, rather than cutting it away — this creates a bright, polished finish and can also be used to close up small scratches or raise a shine on settings and bezel edges. It's a handy tool for jewellers, watch and clock repairers, and hobbyist metalworkers alike.
To use, hold the burnisher at a shallow angle against the metal or stone surface and draw it firmly and steadily along the area you want to polish, applying even pressure. A little light lubricant (such as burnishing fluid or oil) can help the tool glide smoothly and improve the finish. Repeated, consistent strokes in one direction generally give the best, most even result. Clean the burnisher's working edge occasionally to keep it performing well.
