Stitched cotton wheels are a general purpose buffing wheel for cleaning and heavy duty polishing of metals and hard plastics. This pattern wheel is quite firm and stiff, allowing the polishing action to be concentrated on precise areas for the removal of imperfections, or for detail polishing as required. Changing the buffing compound to a finer or more abrasive compound can increase or decreases both the cutting action and polishing action to best suit a specific material or task.
We have 2,3,4 and 8 inch diameter wheels all available in a choice of widths in our Ebay shop. Our excellent selection of polishing compounds are also listed in our Ebay shop along with more details on their uses and abrasive qualities.

bolpol™ Buffing Bar types
bolpol™ Buffing bars are graded with two numbers from 1 up to 10 divided by /. The first number is called "The cut" and refers to the abrasiveness of the bar - the higher the number the rougher the abrasive and the more stock (material) will be removed from the work piece. The second number is called "The Colour" and refers to how much shine the compound could produce on a prepared surface - the higher this number, the higher the level of shine.
For example a bar rated 10/1 will be very abrasive, producing a dull/matt finish with little or no shine. On the end of the scale a bar rated 1/10 has negligible abrasive qualities and is able to produce a very highly polished, fully mirror bright shine on a prepared surface.
Grey 8/4 - High cut with a matt finish for Ferrous metals like Iron & Steel.
Emery Grey 9/0 - A slightly higher cut grade of Grey for Ferrous metals, like Iron & Steel, which will not give the surface any colour.
Brown Tripoli 7/7 - A medium to high cut and shine polish. for non-ferrous metals, like Gold, Brass, Copper and Aluminium. Suitable for all hard plastics and resins.
Green 7/8 & Green Animal Free 7/8 - Medium to high cut with a very high shine for Stainless Steel, Carbon steel, Tool steels, Cobalt alloys and all hard metals.
White 3/9 & White Animal Free 3/9 - With a low cut and very high shine this bar is used for fine scratch removal and to produce a clean, highly polished and reflective mirror bright finish on Aluminium, Chrome, Silver, Nickel plate and Platinum.
Yellow 4/7 - This low to medium cut bar gives a high shine and is suitable for low speed polishing of all hard plastics and resins.
