Frequently asked questions
What buffing wheel works with a drill?
For drill polishing, the 2" wool felt quick change discs come with a pad holder on a 1/4" shank that goes straight into the drill chuck. The 3" compressed wool wheels, with a 3/8" arbor hole, are also listed for drills. Use light pressure, and never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel or disc.
Can I use a felt polishing wheel on a bench grinder?
Yes. The 4", 6" and 8" wool buffing wheels are listed for bench grinders, buffers and polishers. Match the arbor to your grinder's shaft: the 4" wheel has a 3/8" arbor, the 6" wheels 1/2" and the 8" wheel 5/8". Never exceed the maximum RPM marked on the wheel.
Is there a buffing wheel for a hand grinder?
Yes. The 4-1/2" x 7/8" wool felt flap discs mount on a 4-1/2" or 5" angle grinder the same way as a standard flap disc. They are listed for final-stage polishing and buffing toward a mirror finish on stainless steel, aluminum and copper. Check the maximum RPM marked on the disc and never exceed it.
Can I use a wool buffing wheel on aluminum?
Yes. Aluminum is listed for the 3" to 8" wheels and the wool felt flap discs, along with stainless steel and copper. Keep one wheel for aluminum only, since residue picked up from steel can scratch or stain a soft surface. Work in light passes to keep heat down.
For more wheel types, see our polishing wheels collection, and read how to polish aluminum and how to get a #4 or #8 finish on stainless steel.
