Description
This excerpt is about a buffing pad called the Cotton Buff 75MM X 6MM Shank. The pad is made of cotton and has a diameter of Ø75mm and a bore of Ø6.0mm. It is supplied with a chuck adaptor spindle, which is ideal for buffing jewelry and other metals. The pad is concentrically sewn, which adds strength to it, and it is also able to clean surfaces without damaging them. The compounds and buffing pads can be used with a drill press or a portable drill with a collar diameter of Ø43mm. The pad should revolve towards you at full speed and be passed lightly across the face of the pad with a compound. If desired, the metal can be heated to 65°C using an oven or a heater before using the buffing pad.
Buffing pad
Buffing pad material: Cotton
Diameter: Ø75mm
Bore: Ø6.0mm
Application:
The buffing pad is supplied with a chuck adaptor spindle. It is ideal for buffing jewelry and other metals. The concentrically sewn sections add strength to the buffing pad and it cleans surfaces without damaging it.
How to use the compounds and the buffing pads:
- The adaptor is used to hold the buffing pad in the drill's chuck. Fasten the correct buffing pad in the adaptor. Make sure the flanges are on both sides of the buffing pad.
- It would be best to use a drill press to polish metals. If a drill press is not accessible, use adaptor TCV01810 with a portable drill with a collar diameter of Ø43mm. Tighten the adaptor in the drill's chuck.
- The buffing pad should revolve towards you at full speed. Pass the compound lightly across the face of the buffing pad. To ensure that the compound is evenly spread, hold a clean piece of scrap metal against the face of the buffing pad. This will eliminate lumps of compound from occurring.
- If desired, heat the item to 65°C using an oven or a heater. Warming the metal keeps the compound on the buffing pad. A cool item will draw compound from the pad and leave deposits. Use a glove to handle the warm item.
- Hold the metal lightly against the buffing pad. Allow the compound to do the work.
- If more compound is required, apply it using a wiping motion. Do not overload the buffing pad.
