Buffing and Polishing Wheels
Material
Buffing and polishing wheels can be made out of a variety of materials including
cotton, sisal, canvas, chamois, and more. All the buffing wheels we carry are
made of cotton because of its long wear and consistency.
Spiral Sewn vs. Loose Cotton
Spiral Sewn buffs are sewn spirally from the center of the buffing wheels to
close to the edge. The stitching style makes these buffing wheels tough and
great for cutting and course buffing. Spiral sewn buffing wheels generally should
be used with either Black Emery or Brown Tripoli. Loose cotton buffing wheels
have a circle of stitches close to the center of the buffing wheel allowing
the individual plies more freedom. These buffing wheels are very flexible and
soft making them great for getting into hard-to-reach areas and applying a
finish. Loose cotton buffing wheels should be used with either White Diamond
or Red Rouge.
Felt Polishing Wheels and Felt Bobs
Felt polishing wheels and Felt Bobs are made of compressed wool fibers and work
with all compounds. They can be used for any finishing operation and are used
to maintain sharp edges and flat surfaces making them favorites of folks who
work with knives. Felt bobs come in a variety of shapes and are great for getting
into hard-to-reach areas and removing residue left from buffing.
