Dico 7100049 Black Emery Compound Heavy Cut Hard Metals

Product Description

The DICO 7100049 is a black emery buffing compound formulated for heavy-cut applications on hard metals including iron and steel. Emery compounds in this cut grade are used during the cutting and coloring stages of metal finishing to remove surface scratches, oxidation, and machining marks from ferrous metals. The black color designation indicates an emery-based abrasive blend suited for aggressive stock removal before progressing to finer finishing stages. This compound is typically applied by metal fabricators, machinists, and finishing technicians working with ferrous workpieces.

This compound is used in production and bench-top metal polishing operations where hard metals such as iron and steel require initial surface preparation. It is appropriate for use with buffing wheels on bench grinders, polishing lathes, or handheld polishing equipment. Its heavy-cut classification makes it a starting-stage compound in multi-step finishing sequences, particularly where raw castings, forgings, or machined steel components need surface refinement before finer compounds are applied.
