The abrasive nylon comes in three grades:
Very Fine A – Leaves a super smooth finish a very light brushed surface finish, perfect for a finish on gold or silver.
Fine A – a little coarser than the very fine grade, ideal for precious metals and also finishing aluminium, brass, copper etc.
Super Cut – The coarsest of the finishing wheels, leaves a deeper scratch pattern but excellent for taking out dirt or rust. Perfect for pre-polishing and preparing the metal.
Super cut is the most popular grade as it works brilliantly on castings, it cuts through the casting surface preparing the metal for polishing.
- All grades provide an even, blended finish which is easy to polish up from
- They come with a plastic internal taper which is ideal to use with a bench polisher with a taper/pigtail.
- No need for compound, the grit runs throughout the material. Ideal for clean finishing.
Please note that these finishing wheels have the abrasive nylon fixed radially – not in a horizontal lap style so they are more compact and keep their form for longer. Lap Mops come in a bigger range of sizes and grades.
For Jewellers
These wheels as the name suggests are particularly good for use on precious metals. The ideal use for them is smoothing and pre-polishing castings, taking off the casting skin.
They leave an attractive, even satin finish.
