Product Specification

BLACK EMERY BUFFING COMPOUND - USA MADE

Our USA made black emery buffing compound is an aggressive cutting compound designed for the first step in polishing steel, stainless steel, iron, and other hard or ferrous metals. Its fast-cutting abrasive action helps remove scratches, ridge lines, weld scale, rust, corrosion, and burrs while preparing the surface for finer polishing compounds.

Black Emery is best used when substantial surface correction is needed before the polishing and coloring stages. Pair it with a firm spiral-sewn or sisal buffing wheel for efficient cutting and surface preparation. For best results, dedicate a buffing wheel to Black Emery and thoroughly clean the workpiece before moving to the next polishing compound.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jason ★★★★★

The cutting action is seriously aggressive, it chewed through old paint and rust on my steel rims in no time. It's got a nice solid bar feel and doesn't crumble or fall apart as you work it.

Claire ★★★★★

Needed something to take the heavy scratches out of an old wrench, and this black emery compound cut through them fast without loading up the wheel. It's definitely aggressive, like it says, but it leaves a nice uniform surface ready for the next grit. Can't beat that it's made in the USA either.

Avery Y. ★★★★★

This stuff really bites into the metal fast; I used it on a rusted steel blade and it saved me a ton of elbow grease. For a first-step compound, the grit level feels just right.
