Cotton Wheels
These high-grade cotton buffs are engineered specifically for the final-stage polishing of metal tubes, providing the necessary flexibility to contour around cylindrical surfaces while maintaining enough rigidity for high-speed industrial use.
Performance Highlights
-
The “Mirror” Finish: Optimized for use with Green Polishing Compound (Chromium Oxide). This combination is the industry standard for “coloring”—the final step that removes fine scratches to leave a brilliant, reflective glow on stainless steel, brass, and aluminum.
-
Thermal Regulation: The pleated design promotes airflow during rotation, which prevents the metal tube from overheating. Excess heat during the final stage can lead to “burning” or clouding the finish.
-
Precision Fit: The 127mm center hole is designed for secure mounting on large-scale industrial lathes and automatic tube polishing machines, ensuring vibration-free operation at high RPMs.
Pro Tip: For the best results, ensure the tube has been pre-polished with a coarser grit or sisal buff. The cotton buff with green compound is a finishing tool—it excels at bringing out shine rather than removing heavy stock.
