satin brite

[BonhamBlades]

Does any one here use the satin brite wheels? if so what do you like about them as compared to the belts?

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

You mean "Scotch Brite"?

Thank you, yes you are right I do mean scotch brite

I have an extra fine scotch brite wheel. It does a fantastic job of cleaning stuff up and putting a high-polish finish on. I prefer the belts though, because I can use them with different attachments. The wheel is just a wheel and it does start to deform.

thank you pittknife

I have one mounted but rarely use it. one thing nice about them is they don't grab anything, at least I've never had mine grab a blade,
the other nice thing about them is you can re-shape it flat with a wood rasp, it won't even grab that.

I know a guy who finishes blades on a belt grinder and a graphite cloth backed platen to like 400 or maybe 600 grit and then goes to a Scotchbrite flap wheel followed by a buffer wheel with white compound. His stuff turns out very nice.

Thank you blade grinder and jdm

For satin belt finishes which Scotch Brite belt do you guys seem to prefer and do you use more than 1 SB belt in a progression?
