I'm about to polish the feed ramps of my PPK/S and P22. I'm using my new dremel tool my wife bought me, its a craftsman and only a single speed 35,000rpm. I have a felt polishing tip shaped sorta like a bullet actually and dremel brand no. 241 polishing compound. Are there any suggestions/techniques I should be using. I'll post before and after pics a little later.

Ships is 100% right. That one tool has damaged more guns in the hands of the inexperienced home gunsmith than anything else. Good luck.

Thanks for the warning, should I try to hand polish it?

I watch a home gunsmith take a piece of dowel rod and he wrapped one piece of wet-dry paper around it and ran it up and down the feed ramp. He did it very lightly until he got it fairly smooth. It worked for him. I know because I had shot the gun before and after. It cured the feeding problem. How long it lasted I have no idea as he sold the gun about three months later and it was still shooting good at that point. I would not use a dermel. Good luck.
