Advice on Buffing Wheels

[woodrow]

I’ve invested in a bench buffer for my small shop. Included in the package was a couple of buffing wheels. There quite low grade as I have threads all over the garage. One wheel is courser than the other. One being softer than the other.

Id like some advice on a brand of buffing wheel that’s higher quality, preferably available from Amazon.
Perhaps something that doesn’t act like it’s going to fly apart on start up. Thanks everyone,

Bill

Caswell is my go-to for buffing pads. I like a loose cotton wheel for carnuba wax and sewn wheels for other compounds. You don't need sisal or anything abrasive like that for pipe work. (their buffs are largely for the metal polishing industry)

I use cotton 5 inch dia, 1725 RPM for wood and plastic. 3000RPM for metal. One inch thick
un- stitched for wood and plastic and stitched for first polish on silver.

They are right across the lake! They also own British Tools & Fasteners, a go-to when I had a vintage Triumph motorcycle, good people. I visited their facility once, they were shocked someone would drive to them. I was on the NY Thruway for work, so close by.

@ssjones …. Al, I’ve decided to go with Carswell. They have the best application. Now I need to some advice on wheels. I’ll get a soft one for Carnuba, but I’ll be working with rouge and white compounds. Should I just go with the stitching count? Many thanks ~ Bill

I used stiched wheels for abrasives (99% White Diamond).

Never mind I found I just repeated myself.
