Product Description
This 16-inch white cotton polishing wheel is the general-purpose final-finishing option in the cloth wheel range. The untreated cotton remains soft and compliant, so it spreads polishing compound over the contact area and refines the surface rather than cutting deeply into the base metal.
For cookware, decorative stainless sheet, bathroom hardware and contract metal-finishing operations, the wheel provides a practical balance of coverage, gloss and consumable cost. Its mainstream diameter also makes it convenient for factories operating common bench, floor and automatic polishing equipment.
Use it after sanding, emery-wheel preparation or intermediate buffing has removed visible defects. The product page specifically positions this wheel for brightening finished workpieces, not for aggressive scratch removal, which should be stated clearly when recommending it to buyers.
Application boundary: Not intended for heavy-pressure stock removal, deep scratches or thick oxidation; complete coarse and intermediate preparation first.

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 fine finishing compound selected for the workpiece material sparingly and refresh it only when cutting or gloss begins to fall.
5. Use light, controlled pressure and keep the workpiece moving to build gloss without excess heat.
6. Use trained operators, eye and face protection, suitable respiratory protection and effective local dust extraction. Stop if vibration, damage or unusual heat appears.
