How To Felt polishing belt

[HSC ///]

I got this belt, wanted to see if anyone has any use experience with this or similar. It’s a 4 mm thick felt belt.

“Polishing belt made of natural felt on a solid base for cleaning and
polishing surfaces using abrasive and polishing pastes. Felt belts are
used for polishing wood, plastic and metal products”

I tried it on this Elmax blade with no compound or paste. Want to check before is start using some compound

Thanks

I have them. I tried one with rather heavy cut compound but I prefer cork belts with grit + compound for finishing. I think they may be nice for final polishing after high grits, with the right compound. I don't think they'll do much without compound.

I've tried multiples of these with different compounds, and don't use them much. The only thing I use them for now on is if I need to polish a small radius (finger choil) with a small wheel on my grinder.
If you are going to try it on Elmax, listen very closely, you will be able to hear the steel laughing at you.

Needs the right combination of compound.
Some compounds work better with cloth belts.
