Product Specification
6" X 1/2" X 1" FLANNEL CUSHION SEWN BUFFING WHEEL
When the goal is maximum gloss with minimal cutting, reach for our flannel cushion sewn buffing wheel. Made in the USA from extremely soft flannel, this wheel is designed for final coloring and delicate polishing where preserving the surface is more important than material removal.
The cushion-sewn construction provides enough support for controlled polishing while remaining soft and conformable against the workpiece. Pair it with the appropriate fine finishing compound for a bright, highly reflective finish on soft metals, precious metals, plated surfaces, and other delicate materials.

Tip: This is a finishing wheel. If scratches, oxidation, sanding marks, or other imperfections still need to be removed, complete those steps with a firmer buffing wheel and cutting compound before switching to flannel.

For best results, dedicate one buffing wheel to each compound to prevent coarse compound residue from contaminating your final polishing step.
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 workpiece moving to help control heat buildup.
- Clean the workpiece before changing compounds or polishing stages.
-
Wear appropriate eye, hearing, respiratory, and hand protection.
- Keep applicable machine guards in place.
- Never exceed the operating limits of the wheel, machine, spindle, or mounting system.
