CANVAS GRINDING WHEEL RED SISAL BUFF POLISHING WHEEL (SUITABLE FOR STAINLESS STEEL) (4" RED PVC HOLE)

Here are the details for the CANVAS GRINDING WHEEL RED SISAL BUFF POLISHING WHEEL (4" RED PVC HOLE):

Feature Description
Common Name Sisal Buffing Wheel, Sisal Mop
Material A blend of tough Sisal fiber (a natural, hard plant fiber) and often Canvas/Cotton cloth.
Color (Red) The red color typically indicates that the sisal fibers have been impregnated or dip-treated with a hard binder (like a resin or glue) to increase their stiffness, aggressiveness (rate of cut), and durability. This makes the wheel firmer and more effective for initial cutting.

Size 4 inches (100mm) Diameter.

Arbor Hole Red PVC Hole (often 16mm in diameter). This plastic or PVC center hole is a common feature on smaller buffing wheels designed to fit on a bench grinder spindle or an angle grinder adapter.
Primary Use Heavy-Duty Initial Cutting and Polishing (Cut Down).

Suitable For Hard Metals, especially Stainless Steel, Steel, and Iron. It is used to quickly remove surface imperfections, weld marks, heavy scratches, and abrasive belt lines.
Compound Pairing This wheel is almost always used with an abrasive polishing compound (often a Black Emery or Grey/Green Cut compound) to achieve its cutting action.

This 4-inch Red Sisal Wheel is the first-stage tool in a multi-step metal polishing process for hard metals like stainless steel. It is designed for aggressive material smoothing, often following a coarse sanding step, and prepares the surface for subsequent polishing steps with softer cotton wheels and finer compounds.
