That sounds like a really bad idea...

It's difficult to use any power tools on something like a bracelet without causing uneven spots.

If you do, use a flapper sanding wheel in the finest grit you can find to help avoid this.

Still, it's only a minute job by hand so I really don't see a need for anything powered.

Thanks. I was more curious than anything as I work with metal restoration (non watch related) often.

So easy to remove too much (or the wrong) metal, so hard to put it back...

less than $2 for a large square at Granger if you have one near you.

I am 99% sure Scothbrite's grit is identified by it's color. You can pick that up at any HD or hardware store.

Red is aggressive, then gray and then white. You can also use them with a polish at the same time. Used to use them in the auto restoration business all the time.
