    Polishing and Buffing

    Polishing is used to remove scratches and burrs from rough surfaces using abrasive grains attached to a flexible wheel rotating at high speeds. Wheels are made of materials like canvas, leather, or felt, with abrasive grains of varying sizes glued to the outer edge. Finer grits are used to polish, while even finer grits and buffing compounds are used for buffing to produce a high luster finish. Both polishing and buffing involve periodic replacement of worn abrasive particles and are often done manually.

    Polishing is used to remove scratches and burrs and to smooth rough

    surfaces by means of abrasive grains attached to a polishing wheel


    rotating at high speedaround 2300 m/min (7500 ft/min).The wheels are
    made of canvas, leather, felt, and even paper; thus, the wheels are
    somewhat flexible. The abrasive grains are glued to the outside periphery
    of the wheel. After the abrasives have been worn down and used up, the
    wheel is replenished with new grits. Grit sizes of 20 to 80 are used for
    rough polishing, 90 to 120 for finish polishing, and above 120 for fine
    finishing. Polishing operations are often accomplished manually.
    Buffing is similar to polishing in appearance, but its function is different.
    Buffing is
    used to provide attractive surfaces with high luster. Buffing wheels are
    made of materials similar to those used for polishing wheelsleather, felt,
    cotton, etc.but buffing wheels are generally softer. The abrasives are
    very fine and are contained in a buffing compound that is pressed into the
    outside surface of the wheel while it rotates. This contrasts with polishing
    in which the abrasive grits are glued to the wheel surface. As in polishing,
    the abrasive particles must be periodically replenished. Buffing is usually
    done manually, although machines have been designed to perform the
    process automatically. Speeds are generally 2400 to 5200 m/min (8000 to
    17,000 ft/min).
