16-Inch Dark Green Cotton Buffing Wheel for Steel Finishing
A dense, medium-hard 16-inch cotton buffing wheel that balances scratch removal with surface brightening.
The dark green treated cloth is suited to carbon steel, iron parts and standard stainless steel hardware.
It is positioned for buyers seeking a one-step medium-polish and light-brightening option without the extreme cut of blue denim.
• Size / model: 16 in / approximately 406 mm; confirm wheel width and center-hole dimensions for the customer’s machine.
• Material & construction: dense, thick dark-green treated cotton fabric; solid multi-layer cotton wheel with a dense, stable face.
• Manufacturing: thick treated fabric is layered to maintain a stable working face during extended use.
• Performance / process stage: medium polishing with simultaneous light brightening. Recommended compound: a medium compound matched to the metal, followed by fine compound if higher gloss is required.
• Surface fit: flat and standard-profile hardware surfaces. Use steady overlapping passes and reduce pressure on thin plated components.
• Suitable materials: carbon steel, iron parts and standard stainless steel hardware.
• Supply options: samples and wholesale orders; custom diameter, thickness and stitching are available by enquiry. Neutral packaging, custom logo printing and OEM/ODM support can be discussed before quotation.
Product Description
The dark green treated cotton wheel is the balanced option for workshops that do not want to change between a highly aggressive cutting wheel and a very soft finishing wheel for every standard job. Its dense face can reduce ordinary scratches while improving brightness in the same operation.
Carbon-steel hardware, iron components and general stainless fittings are the natural target applications. The solid structure helps the wheel stay stable during longer runs and supports a more even appearance without obvious wave patterns on the workpiece.
Market it as a versatile medium-duty production consumable. For thin plated parts, operators should lower pressure and test the process first; for deep welds, heavy scale or final premium mirror work, separate coarse and final-finishing steps remain the safer choice.

• General metal finishing where one wheel must balance cut and gloss.
• Production polishing of flat and standard-profile components.
How to Use
1. Inspect the wheel before use and confirm the diameter, bore, width and rated speed match the machine.
2. Mount it with the correct flanges and guarding; run the wheel without load while standing clear of its plane.
3. Keep a dedicated wheel for each compound and material family to prevent cross-contamination.
4. Apply a medium compound matched to the metal, followed by fine compound if higher gloss is required sparingly and refresh it only when cutting or gloss begins to fall.
5. Use steady overlapping passes and reduce pressure on thin plated components.
6. Use trained operators, eye and face protection, suitable respiratory protection and effective local dust extraction. Stop if vibration, damage or unusual heat appears.
