Those are both good links with great information.
Sanding/polishing does remove the treated layer in that particular area. If the brass alloy contains lead, it will be exposed in the polished area. I 100% agree that an area that small, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

If you're still bothered by even the tiniest lead exposure, ponder this... The FDA sets acceptable levels of rat feces, maggots and insect parts for our food... and the level isn't 0% on any of them... Bon Appétit!!! :)

Excellent points, Jasl! (I've going to this fellow with questions pretty much since day one on ECF). There was some discussion of this in the Micro-coil thread in the rba Forum (methinks). We got some rather authoritative feedback, saying that polishing or lightly sanding brass parts (after they've been treated) will not expose any significant amount of "new lead"; that there's no reason for concern with that.


here's some reference . .. .

Run 6 can't get here soon enough...
Got board and made 3 of these little guys. Took me all of 10min... now I'm board again...
Super easy with a dremel, just go up each side and down the middle of the top (careful not to hit the filament) Put the legs in some visegrips and shuck. Then take some cutters and clip the legs. (pdib did I clip the legs alright?)

I'm a little confused and wondering if I should have chosen brass.. ..is it a big difference on say a .5 coil?

No. It's a tiny, tiny difference. Almost psychologically tiny.


It's something to have fun with. Choices to make, customized options. They both work great.

I've got a pic of my leg clippings in the "Library" thread now. (give you something to do for another minute)

I've changed it a little since. Instead of an "L" shape on the big-screw side, I'm doing a "C" shape. Maybe you can catch it in the video.

It's all just about what works for you tho. As long as it fits, it's good.

Yep thats what I was using for refrence. The C shape makes more sense. The good part is now I can repurpose all those full size fuses that I bent the legs on :2cool:
