    Made of 100% wool, this is more abrasion resistant and better at damping vibration than other types of felt.

    S2-24 Grade Wool Felt—Plain Backing—S2-24 felt is slightly less firm than S2-32 felt. It is commonly used for buffing, padding, in ink rollers, and in marking devices.
    S2-20 Grade Wool Felt—Plain Backing—S2-20 felt can be used on polishing wheels for buffing lenses, mirrors, glass, marble, granite, metals, and wood.
