Dico Products 7000169 Canton Flannel Buffing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The DICO PRODUCTS 7000169 is an extra-soft canton flannel buffing wheel designed for final coloring and polishing operations. Built from full discs of fleecy flannel sewn in two rows, this wheel delivers a consistently smooth, even finish across the buffing face. With a 6-inch diameter and a 1/2-inch face width, it is sized for bench grinders and polishing lathes commonly found in jewelry shops, metal fabrication setups, and finishing stations. Jewelers, metalworkers, and finishing technicians reach for this wheel when working with rouge compounds on precious metals, where surface integrity is critical and aggressive cut must be avoided.

This wheel is well suited to final-stage metal polishing where a soft, controlled touch is required. Its canton flannel construction makes it the appropriate choice for applications involving gold, silver, and other precious metals that are sensitive to surface scratching or heat buildup from stiffer wheels. It is typically used in shop environments for decorative metalwork, jewelry finishing, and light fabrication polishing tasks where the goal is a high-luster result without removing base material.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of buffing wheels should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with rotary tool safety practices. Always power down and lock out the grinder or polishing lathe before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the arbor speed rating is compatible with the machine's operating RPM. Eye protection and appropriate respiratory protection should be worn whenever buffing compounds are in use.
