In addition to offering protection against warping, Safety Flanges also help to keep the buffing wheel securely in place.\n\nA buffing wheel rake should be used to prime the buffing wheel to accept compound and to free the buffing wheel of build-up when necessary.\n\nFor aluminum, mount the Orange Airway Buffing Wheel onto your machine for the first step. Pair the Orange Airway Buffing Wheel with the Brown T121 Fast-Cutting Compound Bar for your cut stage. For stainless steel, pair the Red Airway Buffing Wheel with the Black Magic Cutting Compound Bar. Typically, the first\/cut stage is done around 3,000 RPMs.\n For the second \"coloring\" stage on aluminum, pair the Yellow Airway Buffing Wheel with the True Green Coloring Compound Bar. For steel, pair the Pink Airway Buffing Wheel with the Yellow Deluxe Polishing Compound. These combinations are meant to refine the first step and add luster to your project surface. The second step should be done around 2,500 RPMs.\nFor the third \"final polish\" on aluminum, employ the Flannel Airway Buffing Wheel and pair it with the Competition Purple Finishing Compound Bar to gain a mirror-like shine on your project. To finish steel, pair the UBM (Unbleached Muslin) wheel with the Blue Rouge Polishing Compound. In most cases, the finishing step is done at or below 1,800 RPMs.\nPro Tips:\nSafety is paramount. We strongly recommend wearing a respirator when polishing metal surfaces. Our recommended Full Face Respirator for metal polishing, priced at $100, offers excellent protection to ensure your well-being during the polishing process.\nThe use of gloves is recommended to help keep your hands clean while also helping to provide some protection from the moving machine and pads.","brand":"The Shine Labz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48716398755994,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6659\/6250\/files\/12-ply-diy-bundle-aluminum_0234ba66-e817-4ed3-bed5-ba9dd1e72a84.webp?v=1783636343","url":"https:\/\/www.shinelabz.com\/products\/renegade-diy-aluminum-polishing-bundle-for-bench-angle-grinders","provider":"The Shine Labz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
