Sisal
Wheels
Sisal is a slender, hard,
cellular strand of fibre that has demonstrated its great strength and
tough resiliency in the form of binder twine, cord & rope for many
years. These qualities, along with its natural abrading and grease
absorbing characteristics, provide an ideal buffing wheel fabric. Sisal
buffing wheels will provide both polishing and cutting action. They will
remove stretcher strains, orange peel, and polishing wheel grit lines,
light die marks, etc. To effect a fast cut, use a sisal wheel with the
Black Emery compound. SW43

Spiral
Sewn Cotton Wheels
Spiral sewn wheels are the
workhorse of most buffing and polishing jobs.
Because the plies of cotton cloth are sewn together spirally, the
wheel becomes much harder and more pressure can be exerted on it. This
is especially useful when cutting the metal.
The faces of these wheels are pre-raked to accept compound
immediately. These wheels
are dependable and long wearing. Use
With Any Compound.

Loose
Cotton Wheels
The main purpose of a loose
cotton wheel is to polish and cut in a similar manner to the Spiral Sewn
Cotton Wheel except that this wheel, not being tightly stitched
together, will collapse, allowing the cotton to get into awkward places
more easily. If you have an object with fine details and awkward
crevices, then this is the wheel to use. Because you will be unable to
exert pressure, which slows down other harder wheels, you should
consider putting LARGER loose cotton wheels on your buffer. This will
increase the surface speed, improving the overall finish and the time
involved. Use with any compound.

Using Loose Cotton WheelsFor example, on a 1/4hp motor, @ 3450rpm, you can safely put up an 8" wheel x 1/4" thick. On a 1/3rd hp motor, 10" x 1/2" thick, on 1/2hp motor 8" x 1" thick. A 3/4hp motor can carry several 12" wheels.

Canton
Flannel Wheels
Canton flannel is very soft,
and this wheel is loosely stitched, so the layers of cloth flare out to
give a wide-angle ultra smooth polishing surface. Generally used with
the BLUE or RED compound, this wheel can be used on the most delicate
items such as silver and gold plate. This wheel should not be
contaminated with any other compound. CFW43 4 X 1/2 £ 4.50 CFW64 6 X 1/2 £ 5.50 CFW87

Treated
Spiral Wheels
These new buffs are specially
treated to give longer life than standard buffs. This treatment makes
them much harder than regular cotton buffs, which allows the user to
exert more pressure onto the wheel and gets the job done faster. Use
with any compound just like standard spiral sewn wheels.

Finger
Buff
An aggressive wheel, designed
to buff irregular contoured metals, especially useful for buffing of
checker plate. The treated sewn cloth fingers penetrate into crevices
etc. and at the same time reduce friction heat build-up, so reduces the
possibility of distorting thin metal panels etc.
Use with Greaseless or black emery compounds. The wheel comes
with a 5/8 hole in the metal centre. 1/2 inserts are available.

compound and keep the part cooler, resulting in a being twice as fast as
a Spiral Sewn wheel. 10 wheels require 3 washers. These wheels are
softer than their yellow cousins.
