A burnishing attachment is a spring-loaded device that is used in conjunction with the burnishing tool to control the pressure of the tool against the material.
The whole key to successful burnishing is to maintain a light and uniform pressure on the burnisher across the entire surface of the plate. The pressure has to be great enough to allow the tool to remove the coating from the material, but light enough to prevent the tool from digging into the material itself.
The burnishing attachment replaces the normal cutter knob and has an internal spring that allows the tool to "float" over the surface and apply just the right amount of pressure.
Antares handles the EZ Rider® burnishing attachment, which is a cost-effective way to remove all the guesswork and produce perfect burnishing, results every time.
