Polishing Agents
Various polishing agents are used by watchmakers, jewelers, gold and silversmiths, a few of which are here described. Where the article will admit of it, the best results are obtained by polishing in the lathe. For this purpose the watchmaker should not use his regular lathe, but should have for the purpose what is known as a polishing lathe, fitted with its various attachments in the shape of scratch-brushes, buffs, etc.
