Felt Cones & Bullnose
Felt cones and Felt Bullnose are popular for metal finishing and polishing.
Shaped Felts used for:
Commonly used by jewellers for inside rings and bangles, silversmiths and goldsmiths – for these precious metals we would recommend using Rouge or Menzerna compounds.
Felts can be used for polishing any metals and used by fabricators, sculptors, engineers, antique restorers – general metal working.
Used for polishing with compound. Used with compound such as Menzerna, Lea Compound bars, diamond compound, rouge etc..
Shaped Felts size and shape available:
The pointed cone or conical shape is ideal for more detailed work and getting inside bores to polish.
Also the Rounded Bullnose shape can be very helpful for working onto a rounded surface
the shape depends on the application, any area of the felt can be sued to polish, the felt can be shaped to make it more useful.
What does Felt Density mean?
Moleroda sell felt in many density or hardness –
Medium density is the most common and most popular.
Hardened density is where the felt has been chemically hardened, the felt is not fixable and will polish or cut much more aggressively (also depending on what compound you use.) The felts will last longer but will work quite differently. (hardened felts will take an extra 4 days to be delivered as they are made to order).
How should I use / hold my polishing felts?
Used with a tapered spindle, these unmounted felts simply screw on- we have a few options if you want to use a drill with a 6mm shank mandrel or an angle grinder with a taper cone. These felts can also be attached to a bench polisher. – They come with a small 3mm centre hole – you might require a Two-stage lead holes. Please contact us for this option. There is normally a surcharge of £0.10 per felt.
