100% Pure Wool Felt Buffing & Polishing Wheels

Natural wool fibers have unique microscopic scales that physically lock abrasive pastes (such as diamond compound, cerium oxide, or rouge) onto the working wheel face. Unlike synthetic wheels that can melt, glaze, and streak workpieces under high frictional heat, 100% pure wool dissipates heat quickly and carbonizes cleanly, preventing workpiece burning and micro-scratches.

The ideal operating surface speed is between 1,500 and 3,000 RPM (max safe limit up to 3,600 RPM). Smaller wheels (50mm–100mm) perform efficiently at higher rotational speeds (2,500–3,200 RPM), while large diameter wheels (200mm–350mm) should be run at moderate speeds (1,400–1,800 RPM) to prevent excessive heat buildup.

We strongly advise dedicating separate felt wheels to individual compound grits. Cross-contamination between coarse cutting compounds (e.g., grey/green bars) and fine finishing pastes (e.g., 1-micron diamond paste or red rouge) will introduce micro-scratches and degrade your final mirror surface quality.

When the wheel face becomes glazed with hardened compound and metal swarf, spin the wheel and lightly apply a standard wheel rake, coarse wire brush, or dressing stone across the face. This removes spent abrasive glaze and exposes fresh, pliable wool fibers for immediate renewed cutting efficiency.
