The burnishing tool could benefit from having the moving parts enclosed to keep bits from entering where the ball rolls on the bearing. It could hold a reservoir of oil in the area.

I haven’t had any trouble with debris, the burnishing process is done after the turning process so the part should be clean. If needed you could give it a sweep, wipe or quick shot with compressed air. As to the oil requirements, I have found the tool to work well with almost anything from cutting oil, hydraulic oil, spray lubricants and also water soluble flood coolant. I have also used the tool dry and it works nearly as well. I think “a little dab will do ya” is all it needs, I was applying likely much more than oil than needed in this video. Thanks for commenting. If you have time please give Jim a thumbs up on his channel.

@@OgiveBC I understand that the part is clean yet appreciate that one tiny particle will ruin the finish. Tiny bits can enter the area from anywhere, maybe your clothing, and although the risk is small it is worth considering eliminating any chance of contamination.

⁠have you had any trouble with yours?
