Wool polishing wheels, also known as wool discs, are a commonly used polishing consumable. They are specifically designed for polishing or repairing scratches on various materials, such as glass, ceramics, stone, metal, plastic, and jewelry.
Features of wool polishing wheels
Wool polishing wheels differ from ordinary felt wheels in that they have a high wool density and small pores; the thickness is easier to control than with ordinary fabrics, and the density can be produced according to actual needs; they have a long service life and can achieve rapid luster. Higher density results in lower elasticity; however, lower density results in less abrasion resistance. Furthermore, the quality, length, and fineness of the wool greatly determine its characteristics.
Classification of Wool polishing Wheels
1. Classification by Material:
Wool polishing wheels can be divided into blended wool wheels and pure wool wheels.
2. Classification by Hardness: Different hardness levels are used for different objects, resulting in flat wool wheels and covered wool wheels.
Flat wool wheels are generally used on large machines, with common sizes such as 100, 125, 150, 180, 200, 230, 250, 300, and 400, and a thickness of 10-60mm. They offer high speed, a large polishing surface, and time savings. They are made of pure wool and are available with or without adhesive.
Covered wool wheels are generally used on angle grinders, with common sizes such as 80, 85, 90, 95, 98, 100, and 125, and a thickness of 6-12mm.
The function of wool polishing wheels
It can be used for polishing automotive paint, furniture paint, stainless steel, precision parts, eyeglass lenses, and glass.
Wool polishing wheels are practically essential polishing wheels for glass products, offering excellent scratch removal and shine enhancement. They can be used on straight-edge polishing machines, beveling machines, irregular-shaped beveling machines, and irregular-shaped grinding machines.
It can also be used for polishing automotive paint. When used with automotive wax, it can quickly remove #2000 sanding marks while producing a mirror-like shine.
