About This Product
Final Buffing Wheels for Marble and Granite
Alpha® Felt Wheels are hook-and-loop backed buffing wheels for the final polishing process in stone fabrication. Used with polishing powders, pastes, or bars, the felt material brings out a deep glossy finish on marble and delicate granite edges, including ogees and bullnoses.
Heat and Polishing Compound Resistance
The felt construction is designed to withstand the acidic compounds found in many polishing products and the heat generated during final polishing. Each wheel is 1/4" thick and balances hardness with softness to provide the durability and surface contact needed for final buffing.
Hook-and-Loop Backing for Stone Fabrication
The hook-and-loop backing provides straightforward attachment to compatible polishing equipment and makes the wheels practical for fabrication, monument work, tile finishing, and floor polishing applications. Available diameters allow the polishing setup to be matched to the surface, edge profile, and equipment being used.
