Source for high quality buffing/polishing wheels?

Post by flix »

Hi All,

What supplier(s) do you use for buffing and polishing wheels? I've been using Pimo and they're not spectacular, i.e. the polishing wheels don't last long and get stringy quickly. They're 20 ply flannel and I'd like to find some a bit more substantial.

Thanks in advance,

--Michael

I get mine from delviesplastics.com. They have some of the best, IMO.

Thanks Kurt,

Just ordered a dozen of the once sewn buffing wheels and some arbors. I'm sure at 50 ply they will do the trick and last a lot longer than the Pimos.

Do you still get your buff wheels from this supplier?

I sure do. Their wheels (no idea what brand they are) are really quite nice.
