Find the best polishing wheel for any project. Our guide reviews top options for DIY and pros, covering sisal, cotton, and felt wheels for a perfect finish.
Grinding is an aggressive process that shapes a workpiece by creating scratches to remove material. Polishing refines the surface using a polishing wheel to shine.
A polishing wheel uses coarse abrasives to remove surface flaws, while a buffing wheel uses fine compounds for a high-gloss shine. Always polish first to correct imperfections before buffing to create a smooth, mirror-like finish.
Compare hybrid bond grinding wheels vs. resin and metal bonds. A hybrid bond grinding wheel offers balanced performance, combining the high removal rate of metal with the fine finish of resin.
A hybrid bond grinding wheel merges metal and resin bonds for high material removal and fine finishes. It excels in grinding hard materials like tungsten carbide.
