Airway Buffing Wheels are engineered for polishing performance and a professional-quality finish, and they help reduce heat buildup during operation. The unique airway design promotes airflow through the wheel, which helps you keep temperature under control while you polish. Keeping the heat down helps you minimize the chance of overheating the workpiece, and the results come out cleaner and more consistent.
These 16-ply buffing wheels come in multiple treatments for progressive polishing and are designed to carry a project from initial cutting all the way to final mirror finishing. Start on the cutting wheel to take out sanding scratches, move to the medium polishing wheel to build a rich luster, and end on the soft wheel for an exceptional high-gloss shine. On knife blades, bolsters, guards, hardware and other metal components, they deliver the performance professional knife makers and metal craftsmen demand.
Match each wheel with its recommended polishing compound and work through the polishing sequence from the most aggressive step to the finest finish for optimal results.
Recommended Polishing Sequence
- Step 1 - Use the Red Treat Airway Buffing Wheel with the Black Compound Bar to remove approximately 400-grit sanding scratches and get the surface ready for polishing.
- Step 2 - The Pink Treat Airway Buffing Wheel paired with the Green Rouge Compound Bar refines the finish while producing a smooth, medium-high luster.
- Step 3 (optional) - The Soft Treat Airway Buffing Wheel with the Purple Compound Bar creates an ultra-high luster and a mirror-like finish.
For safety, always put on appropriate eye protection and a properly fitted respirator while buffing or polishing to limit your exposure to airborne polishing compounds and metal particles.
