18 Inch White Stitched Extra Thick Cotton Buffing Wheel
An 18-inch extra-thick white cotton buffing wheel with mild hardening for large-part production.
The broad face provides subtle cutting to remove fine scratches while building a mirror-like gloss on large hardware and decorative tubing.
It can combine medium polishing and brightening in one pass on suitably prepared workpieces, reducing wheel-change downtime.
• Size / model: 18 in / approximately 457 mm; confirm wheel width and center-hole dimensions for the customer’s machine.
• Material & construction: mildly hardened, thickened white cotton; extra-thick multi-layer lock-seam construction.
• Manufacturing: thick cotton layers are lock stitched for durability and reliable continuous production.
• Performance / process stage: medium polishing plus brightening on prepared large parts. Recommended compound: medium-to-fine compound selected for the starting finish and required gloss.
• Surface fit: large flat, tubular and broad metal components. Use broad overlapping passes, monitor temperature and loading, and avoid excessive pressure when only final gloss is needed.
• Suitable materials: stainless steel and general large metal 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 Certification
The 18-inch white extra-thick cotton wheel is designed for throughput on large workpieces. Mild hardening gives the face a subtle cutting action, while the thick contact area builds gloss across broad hardware and decorative tube surfaces.
On suitably prepared parts, the wheel can combine medium polishing and brightening in a single pass. That reduces production interruptions caused by changing wheels and is attractive to factories operating long shifts or continuous lines.
Multi-layer lock stitching reinforces the extra-thick pack for durability. Buyers should position it as a high-capacity finishing wheel for large parts, not as a substitute for coarse grinding when welds, scale or deep stamping damage remain.
Application boundary: Fine-scratch removal and brightening are the target; deep welds, heavy scale and major defects require a separate coarse process.

Features & Advantages
• Extra-thick 18-inch face provides high coverage on large workpieces.
• Mild hardening combines fine-scratch refinement with brightening.
• Lock-seam construction supports durability in continuous production.
• Potential one-pass medium-polish and gloss step reduces wheel changes.
Applications
• Polishing large stainless hardware and decorative tubing.
• Medium finishing and brightening of broad fabricated components.
• High-throughput work on long-shift industrial polishing lines.
• Mirror-like finishing after coarse defects have already been removed.
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 medium-to-fine compound selected for the starting finish and required gloss sparingly and refresh it only when cutting or gloss begins to fall.
5. Use broad overlapping passes, monitor temperature and loading, and avoid excessive pressure when only final gloss is needed.
6. Use trained operators, eye and face protection, suitable respiratory protection and effective local dust extraction. Stop if vibration, damage or unusual heat appears.
