BROWNELLS ENGINE TURNING KIT
Add a professional engine-turned (jeweled) finish to firearm components and other metal parts with the Brownells Engine Turning Kit. Designed for gunsmiths, restorers, and firearm enthusiasts, these kits provide everything needed to create the distinctive swirl-pattern finish commonly found on custom bolts, hammers, triggers, and other metal surfaces. By packaging all the essential supplies together, Brownells eliminates the cost and hassle of sourcing individual components.
Available in Standard and Deluxe configurations, both kits include the brushes, abrasive, lubricant, and accessories needed to begin engine turning immediately. The Standard Kit is best suited for users working primarily on flat surfaces, while the Deluxe Kit includes a dedicated brush holder assembly that maintains consistent brush pressure, making it easier to produce uniform results on both flat and curved surfaces. For best results, use either kit with a drill press.
