Dude if you're not sure that's 100% brass, don't go near it. Berrylium copper looks very similar, and is commonly used in non sparking tools, grinding or sanding that stuff is bad fuckin news.
3 u/averagesizedideas 4d ago Ooooh good to know. The product description says 100% brass but I’m never surprised if an Amazon product has false description. 3 u/AcceptableSwim8334 4d ago It probably has a small bit of lead in it and it definitely has zinc in it, both of which are not healthy when breathed so wear a mask when polishing.
