1st Stage Coarse Cutting Compounds

cutting compounds

£2.50 – £8.27 incl VAT

Compound bars for metal finishing from first cut to final finish. Compounds available to suit all metals. At Moleroda Finishing Systems we supply a range of Lea Manufacturing polishing compound and also Menzerna compounds. All of these compounds are the coarse soaps and are used for the first stage of cutting and flattening metal prior to polishing.

Most of these compound will leave a flatter surface but still quite a dull finish, the idea is to remove marks, scratches, welds, pits and unwanted blemishes in the metals. Once you start polishing all of these marks will become more viable so this pre-polishing stage is the most important. All mops should be used with a Dry sisal mop for good stock removal. An impregnated sisal can also be used to increase cut or white mop for a softer application

For Jewellers

A Jeweller’s Guide to Choosing & Using Polishing Compound

Generally Apollo is the best choice for Gold and Silver, economical and very effective it cuts well leaving a bright finish ready for polishing. Traditionally you would use Rouge next but Menzerna P175 or M5 is a great alternative for a cleaner bar to use and a premium finish.

Menzerna 456G is extremely popular and is a good option for all jewellery metals. The cut is excellent and the finish is very fine ready for a final buff with Menzerna P175 or M5.

For best results prepare precious metal to around an 800g finish with wet & dry paper or Micro-Mesh to remove file marks. If scratches can still be seen after polishing, go back a step and ensure the sanding stage leaves no scratches.
