Errol, I've found that even the cheap high speed steel burrs do the job with ally.Anyone in Perth, WA Salvage had them on special for $2 each.

The problem with the kits was you ended up with a lot of coarse wheels that were not much use and not enough fine polishing wheels. There are better wheels around now where the grit is contained in a rubber like base. They are more expensive but do a lot better job quicker. The cartridge roll mandrels they sell you in the kit are easily made using a piece of 1/4 rod and cutting a slot in with a hack saw. Most good automotive shops also stock the flat grinder wheeels in either soft or coarse abrasive grades. I find that an electric die grinder and some good P&N Tungsten Carbide burrs will beat the heck out of trying to grind material away. Even cast iron is easily cut with a carbide burr.
