Yellow Cloth/Sisal
|
Sisal Wheel
The unique capabilities of the sisal wheel increase production and decrease cost by doing the job in half the usual time. When used in conjunction with the cut and color bars, the sisal wheel will simply whisk away the polish marks, light pits and other minor surface defects leaving steel, stainless steel or brass a flat color with all scratches removed. This usually eliminates the need to use finer grits when going from polishing to coloring. It is often used as a “final” finish in itself when a satin look is desired. Our sisal wheels are 9 ply, 6" and 8" are 1/4" spiral sewed, 10" and 12" are 3/8" spiral sewed, cloth covers help hold the wheels solid.
|
Loose Muslin Wheel*
The loose muslin section buff has one row of sewing around the hole. These wheels are ultra soft and flexible allowing reach into a great many uneven surfaces. The primary use is buffing or coloring with a rouge to bring the part to a brilliant shining cloor.
|
Felt Wheel
Our accurately balanced felt wheels are made of 100% selected long fiber wool. They contain no resins, lacquers or synthetic fibers. Felt wheels are available in three densities: 1) Soft felt is recommended for rounded surfaces and jobs requiring little pressure or cutting action, such as coloring. 2) Medium felt is the most often used by both gun and knifemakers. It will readily adapt to flat or rounded surfaces and can be used in both buffing and coloring operations. 3) Hard felt is most often used on flat surfaces or where it is necessary to contour the wheel to the configuration of the work.
