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. Use with lapping pastes and buffing compounds. Wheels mount to an unthreaded spindle.
1/16” dia. arbor hole is also known as a pin-hole center.
Medium-density wheels are for soft metals.

Uniform-Finish Buffing Wheels for Irregular Surfaces
The edge of the wheel is tapered for polishing joints, grooves, and crevices. A uniform density helps distribute abrasive grains evenly throughout these felt wheels for a more consistent surface polish. Use with lapping pastes and buffing compounds. Wheels mount to an unthreaded spindle. They have a 1/16” dia. arbor hole, which is also known as a pin-hole center.
Quick-Change Buffing Discs
A special fastener on the back of these flexible discs allows you to easily swap one disc for another to apply lapping pastes and buffing compounds. Use with a backup pad (sold separately) on grinders for bits and burs.

Buffing Wheel, Bob, and Compound Kits
Most buffing processes have two steps:
Cutting, the first step, removes scratches and surface imperfections.
Coloring, the second step, produces an even finish.
Cutting/coloring compounds perform both steps at once.
