16-Inch Yellow Mill-Treated Cotton Airway Buff for Long Plates and Tubes
16-Inch Yellow Mill-Treated Cotton Airway Buff for Long Plates and Tubes is positioned for initial rough polishing and machining-mark removal on long plates, tubes and broad workpieces.
It uses large yellow mill-treated cotton cloth in multi-layer cotton cloth combined with open airways; the working face changes with cloth hardness and treatment.
It is intended for sheet and tube processors, railing manufacturers and continuous long-part polishing lines, working mainly on long stainless and general-metal plates, tubes and large workpieces.
Selection value: Built around 16-inch coverage, yellow mill-treated cutting and long-workpiece efficiency for sheet and tube orders.
• Size / model: 16 in / approximately 406 mm; confirm face width, bore and flange dimensions for the customer’s machine.
• Material & construction: large yellow mill-treated cotton cloth; multi-layer cotton cloth combined with open airways; the working face changes with cloth hardness and treatment.
• Manufacturing: cotton layers are arranged evenly around the center and formed into airways to balance buffing contact, cooling and continuous-run stability.
• Manufacturing: cotton layers are arranged evenly around the center and formed into airways to balance buffing contact, cooling and continuous-run stability.
• Surface fit: long flat plates, tube exteriors and broad gentle curves. Operating tip: maintain consistent speed and overlap along the workpiece length, controlling pressure and heat by section to prevent cross-pattern inconsistency.
• Suitable materials: long stainless and general-metal plates, tubes and large workpieces.
• Supply options: Samples and wholesale orders are available. Diameter, face width, ply/pleat construction, center plate and bore can be discussed for customization. Neutral packaging, custom logos, MOQ and OEM/ODM service are subject to the formal quotation.
Product Certification
This 16-inch Yellow Mill-Treated Cotton Airway Buffing Wheel uses large yellow mill-treated cotton cloth in multi-layer cotton cloth combined with open airways; the working face changes with cloth hardness and treatment. cotton layers are arranged evenly around the center and formed into airways to balance buffing contact, cooling and continuous-run stability.
It is designed for initial rough polishing and machining-mark removal on long plates, tubes and broad workpieces and suits long flat plates, tube exteriors and broad gentle curves. Typical materials include long stainless and general-metal plates, tubes and large workpieces. Compound guidance: match the compound to the metal and process stage; use dedicated wheels when moving from coarse to fine work to avoid cross-contamination.
For sheet and tube processors, railing manufacturers and continuous long-part polishing lines, the core value is clear: Built around 16-inch coverage, yellow mill-treated cutting and long-workpiece efficiency for sheet and tube orders. Selection note: The large roughing wheel is unsuitable for small details or final high gloss; reduce pressure and test first on thin-wall tubing.

How to Use
1. Inspect the wheel, center plate and cloth layers. Confirm the 16 in / approximately 406 mm diameter, actual face width, bore and rated speed against the machine.
2. Mount with the correct flanges and guarding. During the no-load test, stand clear of the plane of rotation and stop immediately for wobble, abnormal vibration or damage.
3. Dedicate wheels to different metals and compounds where possible. match the compound to the metal and process stage; use dedicated wheels when moving from coarse to fine work to avoid cross-contamination.
4. Operating technique: maintain consistent speed and overlap along the workpiece length, controlling pressure and heat by section to prevent cross-pattern inconsistency.
5. Maintain overlapping passes and control heat. Do not substitute excessive pressure for correct preparation or the correct compound.
6. Wear suitable eye/face protection, gloves and work clothing, and provide effective local dust extraction. Clean or dress the face after shutdown; do not reuse a damp, loose or damaged wheel.
