Product Specification

6" X 1/2" X 1" COTTON SPIRAL SEWN BUFFING WHEEL

Built for the cutting and initial polishing stages, our Cotton spiral sewn buffing wheel has a firm, tightly stitched construction that allows more pressure to be applied than softer buffing wheels. This added firmness helps the wheel work efficiently with cutting and intermediate compounds to remove fine sanding marks, oxidation, and surface imperfections while beginning to develop gloss.

Made in the USA from cotton and constructed with closely spaced spiral stitching, this wheel is an excellent starting point for multi-stage metal polishing. Once the surface has been refined, move to a softer cushion-sewn, loose cotton, or flannel wheel for the later coloring and final-polishing stages.

Quantity: 1 Wheel

Dimensions

Product Features

• Firm, tightly spiral-sewn cotton construction
• Designed for cutting and initial polishing
• Supports greater polishing pressure than softer buffing wheels
• Helps remove fine sanding marks, oxidation, and minor surface imperfections
• Excellent first wheel in a multi-stage polishing process
• Works with cutting and intermediate buffing compounds

Machines Used On

Best suited for:

• Bench buffers
• Bench grinders configured for buffing
• Polishing motors
• Other compatible rotary polishing equipment

Always confirm proper arbor fit and operating speed before use.

Applications

Well suited for cutting and initial polishing of:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Copper
• Stainless steel
• Steel
• Zinc
• Chrome and nickel-plated surfaces when light intermediate polishing is required

Because spiral-sewn wheels are relatively firm, use caution on thin plating and delicate surfaces.

Polishing Performance

Tip: Use this wheel to establish the surface before moving to a softer wheel. A spiral-sewn wheel is generally not the best choice for the final high-gloss coloring stage.

After the cutting stage, clean the workpiece and move to the appropriate softer wheel and finer compound for the desired finish.

For best results, dedicate one wheel to each compound to prevent contamination between polishing stages.

Safety Tips & Techniques

• Apply compound lightly to the spinning wheel.
• Use controlled pressure and allow the compound and wheel to do the cutting.
• Keep the workpiece moving to prevent excessive heat buildup.
• Clean the workpiece thoroughly before changing polishing stages.
• Use extra care around edges, corners, thin materials, and plated surfaces.

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

• Keep applicable machine guards in place.
• Do not exceed the operating limits of the wheel, machine, spindle, or mounting system.
