Turn fine finishing into a reliable, repeatable process with Felt Polishing Wheels 900826N. Made from high-density premium wool felt, these professional-grade wheels load compound evenly, cut smoothly with low vibration, and deliver the uniform pressure you need for scratch refinement, edge deburring, and true mirror polishing. Whether you’re bringing jewelry to a showroom shine, refining knife bevels, brightening hardware, or clearing haze from acrylic edges, 900826N gives makers, metalworkers, and restorers the control and consistency that separates good results from great.
Balanced for cooler running and longer life, the 900826N wheels hold their shape, resist glazing, and accept a wide range of polishing compounds—so you can move efficiently from “cut” to “color” to “final luster” without changing your workflow.
Why Choose Felt Polishing Wheels 900826N?
Premium Wool Felt Density
Uniform fiber structure delivers even contact pressure for streak-free, swirl-free finishes with fewer passes.
Compound-Friendly Surface
Optimized to hold rouge, tripoli, chromium oxide (green), white/blue compounds, and diamond paste, enabling rapid gloss build with excellent control.
Low Vibration, Cooler Polish
Precisely balanced wheels minimize chatter and heat buildup—protecting thin parts, sharp edges, and delicate finishes.
Versatile, Multi-Material Performance
Proven on stainless and carbon steel, brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, titanium, acrylic/PC/ABS plastics, cured wood finishes, resin castings, glass edges, and decorative stone.
Durable, Long Service Life
Dense felt resists glazing and out-of-round wear; can be lightly dressed to renew the face and restore cutting action.

How to Use (Quick Start)
Mount Securely – Fit the correct arbor/mandrel, check runout, and ensure the wheel spins true.
Charge the Wheel – With the wheel spinning, lightly apply compound until the face is evenly coated—thin is better than heavy.
Set Speed – Start at moderate RPM; increase only as needed to maintain a cool work surface.
Polish with Light Pressure – Let the compound cut. Use steady passes to refine scratches and build gloss without overheating.
Refresh as Needed – Re-apply compound when cutting slows; dress/rake lightly if glazing appears to reveal fresh fibers.
Final Cleanup – Wipe with a clean, soft cloth to remove residual compound and reveal the finish.
Pro Tips for Mirror Results
Work in Stages: Start with tripoli (or a fine cutting bar) to remove micro-scratches, then move to rouge or chromium oxide for final color.
Avoid Cross-Contamination: Dedicate one wheel per compound; label or color-code them.
Keep It Cool: Heat creates swirls. If the part warms up, reduce RPM/pressure and let it cool.
Edge Direction: Present sharp edges so the wheel rotates off the edge to prevent grabbing.
Dress Regularly: Light dressing keeps the wheel flat, opens fibers, and restores uniform cutting.
Safety & Best Practices
Wear ANSI-rated eye protection; use a dust mask or respirator as needed.
Tie back hair, remove jewelry, and avoid loose clothing around rotating tools.
Verify maximum RPM for both tool and wheel size; never exceed ratings.
Secure small parts in a vise, pin holder, or soft jaws for better control.
Keep ferrous and non-ferrous projects on separate wheels to maintain finish clarity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which compound gives the best mirror on stainless?
A: After a light cut with tripoli, finish with green chromium oxide or a fine white rouge for a crisp mirror.
Q: Can I polish acrylic without haze?
A: Yes—use plastic-safe compounds, moderate RPM, and minimal pressure. Finish with a clean wheel and fine compound for water-clear edges.
Q: The wheel is loading up—what now?
A: Use less compound, clean the part between stages, and dress the felt lightly to open fresh fibers.
Q: Suitable for knife stropping?
A: Felt wheels excel at bevel/face polishing. For apex stropping, many makers prefer a flat leather strop; use felt for brightening bevels and hardware.
Q: What tools will it fit?
A: Rotary tools, flex-shafts, drills, bench buffers, and grinders—as long as arbor and RPM specs match.
