Why is a stainless steel burnishing tool included instead of a plastic swizzle stick?
DeFelsko has taken steps to improve on all aspects of the replica tape surface profile measuring process including the initial replica creation. Plastic sticks are not manufactured to uniform tolerances and their ball ends often contain sharp knit lines from the molding process. The ball on the supplied stainless steel burnishing tool is machined to the proper diameter for optimal rubbing. It won’t break under pressure and ensures a consistent test is accomplished every time.
