ENKAY - 6" Extra Thick Spiral Sewn Buffing Wheel (80 Ply)

Great Buy - Perfect for my needs

Nice wide sewn buffing wheel great for polishing brass from unfinished or sanded to bright polish. This wheel can take the pressure, speed and heat required for bringing brass and even steel to bright, smooth and shiny. I use mine on my wood lathe with one of those tapered screw, spin on adapters that I can easily put in the chuck. I don't have a need to relegate a separate bench grinder of buffing machine for such jobs. This wheel fits the bill for my woodworking shop perfectly.

The wheel is fine, seems very soft, though it does seem like its going to shed a lot at first, but it doesn't come with washers or nut shown in the last picture. At this price for a simple cloth wheel, they should at least throw in the hardware.

If you have an old grinder or buffing wheel set up (or even an electric drill) that will accommodate this wheel, you will discover what a buffing wheel can do to do to put a great final finish on a metallic object, particular if you have been restoring any tool or object that started out with a coat of rust or other surface discoloration Be sure to look into the various finishing waxes designed for use with buffing wheels and particular types of metal and the desired final finish. Amazon sells the following set of these bars that have gotten many good reviews, many of which contain tips on the proper way to get great results on a variety of materials. This is the description on Amazon: "Drixet 6 Piece Buffing, Polishing & Cutting Compound 4 Oz. Kit - Set Includes: Black Emery, Brown Tripoli, White Diamond, Red Rouge, All Purpose Blue & General Green Compounds."

This is the best buffing wheel I've gotten for my buffer so far. Super soft and super wide. I do resin and wood projects, and this gave me a much more superior finish (and faster) than the 70 ply 1" thick buffing wheels I've used before this one. I'll be ordering a spare!!

Needed to spend time to get it to fit right, works ok now

Nice and thick wheel. Sturdy and not as if it will flex when heavy pressure is applied to the object. This helps consistent buffing and smooth transition between paths.

Fits my 5/8 arbor great and the width is prefect, so you don’t have to add anything to the arbor to get it to spin. It also doesn’t chatter when i am buffing. Some of my smaller width buffing wheels do. I also like the 80 ply best. It’s the way to go.

I use these to apply carnauba wax to smoking pipes.

La tela muy buena firme, grosor, se pega muy bien la pasta verde que compre aqui mismo en amazon, en general muy buen producto... La primera la compre casi ya 1 año y esta como nueva, esta la compre, y se ve igual...

very nice, thanks

Desde el principio se empezó a desbaratar. Sirve pero no servirá mucho.
