4" X 1/2" FLANNEL CUSHION SEWN BUFFING WHEEL WITH 1/4" MANDREL

Bring final polishing directly to the workpiece with our 4" flannel cushion sewn buffing wheel. Made from extremely soft flannel, this wheel is designed for final coloring and high-gloss polishing where minimal cutting action is important. The soft, conformable face follows curves and contours easily, making it a strong choice for aluminum, brass, copper, precious metals, plated surfaces, plastics, and other delicate finishes.

Unlike traditional arbor-mounted bench buffing wheels, this version includes an integrated 1/4" ball-groove quick-change shank for use with compatible drills and drivers. That makes it especially useful for polishing larger assemblies, installed components, irregular shapes, or parts that are inconvenient to bring to a stationary buffer. Pair it with the appropriate finishing compound to develop a bright, highly reflective finish while maintaining good control over the polishing process.

Machines Used On

Designed for use with compatible:

• Electric drills
• Cordless drills
• 1/4" quick-change compatible drivers

The integrated mandrel makes this wheel particularly convenient for portable polishing and working on larger or difficult-to-position parts that may not be practical to bring to a bench buffer.

Applications

Ideal for final polishing and coloring of:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Copper
• Gold
• Silver
• Chrome and nickel-plated surfaces
• Plastics
• Lacquered surfaces
• Other delicate surfaces where minimal material removal is desired

Use extra care with plastics, lacquer, and plated surfaces to minimize heat and avoid damaging the finish.

Polishing Performance

Tip: Flannel is a finishing wheel, not a scratch-removal wheel. Complete any cutting or surface refinement with the appropriate firmer wheel and compound before switching to flannel for the final gloss.

For best results, dedicate one buffing wheel to each compound. This prevents residue from a more aggressive compound from contaminating your final polishing stage.

Safety Tips & Techniques

• Apply a small amount of compound to the spinning wheel rather than overloading it.
• Use light pressure and allow the wheel and compound to produce the finish.
• Keep the wheel moving across the workpiece to control heat buildup.
• Use especially light pressure when polishing plastics, plated surfaces, and lacquer.
• Clean the workpiece before changing compounds or polishing stages.

• Wear appropriate eye, hearing, respiratory, and hand protection.

• Confirm that the wheel and shank are securely mounted before use.
• Always operate within the limits of the wheel and power tool.
