Our USA made black emery buffing compound is an aggressive cutting compound designed for the first step in polishing steel, stainless steel, iron, and other hard or ferrous metals. Its fast-cutting abrasive action helps remove scratches, ridge lines, weld scale, rust, corrosion, and burrs while preparing the surface for finer polishing compounds.
Black Emery is best used when substantial surface correction is needed before the polishing and coloring stages. Pair it with a firm spiral-sewn or sisal buffing wheel for efficient cutting and surface preparation. For best results, dedicate a buffing wheel to Black Emery and thoroughly clean the workpiece before moving to the next polishing compound.
