About Finishing

Buffing Wheels for Curved Surfaces

Loose layers of cloth conform to curves and contours.

Buffing Wheels for Flat Surfaces

Layers of cloth are sewn together, making these wheels more rigid than those for curved surfaces.

Buffing Wheels for Irregular Surfaces

Long, soft cotton strings conform to irregular surfaces and hold on to burring compounds longer than other wheels.

Buffing Wheels for Internal Surfaces

Specially shaped to buff the insides of metal pipes, cylinders, stampings, and tapered objects.

Stay-Cool Long-Lasting Buffing Wheels

Holes in the hub allow air to flow through so the wheel stays cool and compound lasts longer. Also known as airway buffs.

Long-Lasting Buffing Wheels

Pleats hold more buffing compound so you can work longer before having to reapply. The cotton is also cut at an angle to prevent fraying and extend wheel life.

Mirror-Finish Buffing Wheels for Flat Surfaces

The layers of flannel are sewn together, making these wheels more rigid than those for curved surfaces. Also known as Canton flannel buffs.

Mirror-Finish Buffing Wheels for Curved Surfaces

Loose layers of cloth conform to curves and contours. Also known as jewelers’ buffs.

Aggressive Buffing Wheels for Curved Surfaces

Softer than flat-surface wheels, these conform to curves and contours.

Aggressive Buffing Wheels for Flat Surfaces

Use these rigid wheels to remove gouges and scratches from metal workpieces.

Aggressive Buffing Wheels for Flat Hard Metal Surfaces

The layers of sisal are sewn together for maximum rigidity and resistance to fraying.

Aggressive Buffing Wheels for
Curved Hard Metal Surfaces

Made from alternating strips of cotton and sisal, these wheels remove less material, leave fewer scratches, and conform better to curves and contours than flat-surface wheels. Also known as finger-style buffs.

Uniform-Finish Buffing Wheels for Flat Surfaces

A uniform density helps distribute abrasive grains evenly throughout these felt wheels for a more consistent surface polish.

Uniform-Finish Buffing Wheels for Irregular Surfaces

The edge of the wheel is tapered for polishing joints, grooves, and crevices.

Buffing Wheel Flanges

These ventilated flanges let you use wheels with a center hub on bench grinders and buffers.

No-Mess Buffing Wheels

The abrasive is already embedded in these nylon mesh wheels so you don’t need messy polishing compounds.

Buffing Wheels with Shank for Flat and Curved Surfaces

Made of loose layers of cotton.

Buffing Wheels with Shank for
Internal and Irregular Surfaces

Shaped for use on inside cylinders or on irregular surfaces.

Buffing Pads for Flat Surfaces—
Use with Angle Polishers

Washable and reusable, these pads are good for buffing and polishing painted and clear-coat finishes.

Buffing Pads for Flat, Curved, and Irregular
Surfaces—Use with Angle Polishers

The wheel flares out as it spins for use on depressions and curved surfaces.

Polishing Bonnet Cleaners

Remove buildup and fluff packed-down bonnets to extend their life.

Applicator Bonnets

Before you buff, use these bonnets for easy application of waxes and polishes.

Polishing Bonnets

These bonnets won’t leave swirl marks or scratches when polishing waxed surfaces.

Quick-Change Buffing Discs

A special fastener on the back of these flexible discs allows you to easily swap one disc for another. Use with a backup pad on grinders for bits and burs.
