Heavy weight, medium-soft dip treated sisal buff for use in heavy cut down operations on stainless steel - but also aluminum and brass alloys.

Sisal fibre buffing wheels enhance the aggression of your polishing compounds to efficiently complete pre-polishing; by utilizing a light treatment and especially dense, high quality sisal fibers this buff's cutting action is achieved primarily by extra weight rather than aggressive treatments, resulting in both efficient cutting action and a cleaner finish. As a result, this sisal buff is capable of pre-polishing softer metals like aluminum and brass without pulling the metal.

Open face sisal buffs feature a pleated design that allows for cooler operation and increased flexibility than full disc sisal wheels; they also provide some oscillation on the face to help prevent rippling and streaking. Medium-soft firmness dip treatment adds to cut aggressiveness, buff life, and elasticity.

Manufactured as samples, they were left behind by their intended end-user - but their loss is your gain! Produced with world-class European textiles and sisal fibres, these sisal/cotton buffing wheels boast exceptional durability, cutting power, and a clean finish. These are a limited run - once they are gone, they are gone! Center plates not included; buffs measure 450mm x 178mm (17.72" x 7.01").

Pairs with: Menzerna 523NG, Menzerna 439T, Menzerna 456G, Menzerna 333, Menzerna P14F

The natural fiber of the Agave plant, grown in South Africa and South America, is a cost-effective and robust natural fiber for metal-polishing, which has become material of choice due to it’s qualities in the polishing process. By using only first class, long sisal fibers for matting and braid, the quality of the sisal polishing tools is exceptional and guarantees a long life. Sisal buffing with the appropriate compounds would be the next step of the polishing process, after grinding with abrasive belt grits of 240 for non-ferrous metals and grit 280 for stainless steel: pure cotton buffs would be hard pressed to do this. This conversion from abrasive belt grinding to sisal buffing at an early stage is economical and cost effective; a good industrial finish will be achieved but no mirror finish without refinement. Sisal buffing wheels are frequently impregnated with special treatments to increase the longevity of the buff, enhance the polishing effect, and enhance compound retention - resulting in savings on both polishing buffs and compounds. Buff will need to be raked prior to initial use. Does not include a center reducer plate. Requires the use of a set or standard end flanges in conjunction with a center reducer plate for proper mounting and safe operation. Industrial grade.
