Case Pack 12", 14", 16", and 20" Airway Buffing Wheels for Wheel Polishing Machines (5/Pack)
Maverick Abrasives is 1 of only 4 manufacturers left in the United States that manufactures premium, industrial-grade Airway Buffing Wheels. These large-diameter airway buffing wheels range from 12" to 20" and come traditionally with 1-1/4" arbor hole--which is common for most lathe and backstand polishing machines.
We recommend using our 20-Ply Orange cutting wheel with a Brown Tripoli Compound Bar if polishing aluminum or a Black Magic Cutting Compound Bar if cutting stainless steel.
We recommend using our 16-Ply Yellow Coloring wheel with a Green Rouge Compound Bar when polishing either stainless or aluminum.
For the finishing stage with our 20-Ply Domet Flannel wheel, we'd suggest going with our Competition Purple or Blueberry Synthetic Finishing Bars.
YOU USE THE EDGE OF THE BUFFING WHEEL TO POLISH?
Yes! This is called edge buffing and the method is often used when polishing metal with an angle grinder but is also applicable to bench grinders and larger wheel polishing machines.
Below is a table showing the maximum safe operating speed for each size of buffing wheel:
