ITEM #SKIVE: SKIVE TOOLS FOR CLEANING BUFFING WHEELS.  Also sometimes referred to as 'RAKES'., you use these on a spinning buffing wheel to clean off all the packed-on old buffing compound and metal that glazes over the surface of a buffing wheel and degrades its performance. It can be seen in the photos that this is a steel handle with a hardened tip welded onto the business end.

You hold this tightly in two hands and SLOWLY push it into the spinning buffing wheel at about the level of the spindle. This can be a dangerous thing to do, so wear gloves, eye protection, and a face mask. And don't let the spinning wheel pull this tool out of your hands. If it gets launched, someone could get injured. DON'T USE THIS TOOL ON A FLEX SHAFT MOUNTED BUFFING WHEEL.

Just act like you're polishing the wire pad with your wheel, turning into the direction the tines are coming from. They also work great for cleaning files. Use your safety glasses when using these. 6" long.
