Shor carries a standard polishing hood which is suitable for all polishing and grinding operations that do not take place at the jeweler's bench. Our standard polishing hood comes complete with 2 incandescent sockets with switches and an inlet screen to keep rings from accidentally being sucked into the dust collector.

Shor Standard Polishing Hood Price: $99.95

In addition to the standard polishing hood, we carry a wide assortment of hoods for the jeweler's workbench.

WhirlWind Anti-Theft Grinding Hood

Let’s face it.  When working around so much precious metal, some polishers are tempted supplement their income with your gold.  Take away the temptation.  The WhirlWind Grinding Hood, when used with a good dust collector (like the Super WhirlWind Jr.), makes “losses” a thing of the past.  100% thief-proof, grinding collection cannot be circumvented.  

The WhirlWind Grind Hood has a built in light and a special Plexiglas view plate.  With a proven track record almost of almost 10 years, the WhirlWind Grinding Hood is time tested to be the most efficient grinding hood ever made.  No other hood even comes close.

The first visilapping machines in American came from Shor.   Those machines were quickly copied until very few remembered the origins.  Now Shor introduces a new kind of visilap hood- The WhirlWind.

When polishing with a visilap, it is important to apply the jewelry to the wheel in the right place on the visilap wheel in order to direct the dust toward the intake hole in the hood.  Inexperienced visilap polishers (and experienced thieves) may direct the dust past the hole, causing the gold dust to accumulate inside the hood.  The intake hole on the WhirlWind Visilap hood extends along the entire left hand side of the hood, making impossible to steal gold dust by redirecting the stream.
