After Fibre Sanding Discs | Felt Polishing Wheel | For Angle Grinders

This set of polishing wheels gives metal a final, mirror-like shine with your angle grinder. Unlike abrasive fiber sanding discs that cut material away, these felt and wool pads are used with a polishing compound to create a glossy surface without scratching. Features and Benefits - Wool and Felt Discs - These soft materials hold polishing compound well. They are good for bringing stainless steel and aluminum to a bright shine. - Nylon Fiber Wheels - The included nylon polishing wheels offer light abrasive action for cleaning, blending, and removing small surface flaws before the final polish. - Angle Grinder Fitment - The polishing pads mount directly to a standard angle grinder. This lets you switch from grinding to finishing quickly. - Multi-Step Polishing - The kit includes buffing wheels for the initial cut and shine, and softer felt polishing discs for the final mirror finish. Applications - Automotive Detailing - Polish aluminum wheels, stainless steel exhaust tips, and chrome trim for a show-car finish. - Metal Restoration - Use the nylon wheels to clean oxidation from old metalwork. Then use the felt wheels to bring back its original shine. - Kitchen and Marine Hardware - Bring a reflective shine back to stainless steel sinks, boat railings, and other fixtures that have become dull. Step 1: Mount the Sanding Disc to the Mandrel This product, After Fibre Sanding Discs, is for angle grinders. The following information is general guidance for dremel sanding discs. Option A: Standard Screw Mandrel (402) To mount a sanding disc onto a standard screw mandrel, first unscrew the small screw at the top of the mandrel. Place the sanding disc onto the mandrel's shaft, ensuring it sits flush against the base. Reinsert the screw through the centre hole of the disc and tighten it securely with a screwdriver. Make sure the disc is centred and firmly attached to prevent wobble during operation, which can lead to uneven sanding and swirl marks. This method is common for various dremel sanding disc applications. Option B: EZ Lock Mandrel (EZ402) For an EZ Lock mandrel, simply pull back the spring-loaded collar at the base of the mandrel. Align the centre hole of the sanding disc with the pin on the mandrel, and push the disc onto the pin until it clicks into place. Release the collar to lock the disc securely. This design allows for quick and tool-free changes of dremel sanding discs, improving efficiency for tasks requiring multiple grit changes. Ensure the disc is fully engaged before use. Step 2: Insert the Mandrel into Your Dremel Once the sanding disc is securely attached to the mandrel, insert the mandrel's shaft into the collet of your Dremel rotary tool. Use the collet wrench to tighten the collet nut firmly. Ensure the mandrel is seated deeply enough for a secure grip, but not so deep that it bottoms out. A properly secured mandrel prevents slippage and ensures safe operation. Always check that the disc spins true before starting work to avoid vibration and poor finish. Step 3: Best Practices for Sanding When using sanding discs, apply light, consistent pressure and keep the tool moving to avoid burning the workpiece or creating swirl marks. For initial material removal, a coarser grit, such as 80 grit, is suitable. Progress to finer grits, like 220 grit, for smoothing and finishing. The lifespan of a sanding disc varies depending on the material being sanded and the pressure applied; discs for angle grinders are generally robust. This product is not a hook and loop sanding disc. Regular inspection for wear is crucial.
