If you love your roll sander, you’re not alone. Roll sanders have long been a jeweller’s go-to for softening edges, blending solder joins, and preparing metal surfaces before polishing. They’re durable, efficient, and ideal for batch production — until you hit a sharp edge and slice through a few layers! That got us thinking at Moleroda: what’s the RODA equivalent for jewellers?
The answer? RODA Unitized Points.
Mops & Mounted Accessories
Originally designed for precision engineering, Unitized Points are tough, reliable abrasives that tackle even the hardest metals. They’re perfect for removing machine lines, blending surfaces, and preparing metal before polishing — exactly what jewellers need when finishing pieces with care and consistency.
Unlike traditional roll sanders, RODA Unitized Points are:
-
Fast-cutting yet controlled – They remove material quickly while leaving a smooth, even surface.
-
Time-saving – Often there’s no need to move through multiple grits.
-
Long-lasting – Their dense structure resists wear and keeps shape, even along sharp edges.
-
Versatile – You can shape the point with an old file to suit your task — pointed, rounded, or thinned down.
Just remember: these points are hard and will cut through steel, so don’t use your best Vallorbe file when reshaping them!
One of the biggest advantages of RODA Unitized Points is the finish they leave. Despite their cutting power, they produce a smooth surface ready for the next polishing step. After using a Unitized Point, you can move straight to polishing with Tripoli or a Radial Wheel in 220 grit (Red) for a flawless result.
If you’re looking for a cleaner, faster, and more durable alternative to your traditional roll sander, RODA Unitized Points are worth trying on your bench. They combine the precision of engineering abrasives with the delicacy needed for fine jewellery finishing — truly Moleroda’s answer to the roll sander.
