Product Specification

Flap Wheel Abrasive Buffing Drum – Felt

The 4-1/2" x 4" Wool Felt Buffing Drum from Benchmark Abrasives is designed for precision polishing applications where surface clarity and finish quality are the priority. It is commonly used at the final polishing stage to refine metal surfaces and achieve a smooth, reflective appearance.

This drum is built using soft wool felt elements arranged to provide even pressure across the polishing face. The felt material cushions the surface during operation, helping eliminate fine haze and light imperfections without cutting into previously finished work.

The segmented layout of the felt allows the drum to adapt naturally to flat and contoured surfaces while maintaining steady contact throughout the polishing cycle. This design supports cooler operation during extended use, helping preserve finish quality and reduce the risk of compound smearing or surface damage.

With a full 4-inch polishing width, the drum increases coverage on larger components, reducing overall polishing time compared to narrower buffing tools. It pairs effectively with liquid compounds, polishing pastes, or solid buffing compounds and is well suited for finishing panels, tubing, and fabricated assemblies prior to final inspection or delivery.

Safety Tips & Techniques:

• Apply light pressure and let the tool do the work. Bearing down on the tool will result in reduced tool life.
• Always wear proper PPE to include (but not limited to) safety glasses, hearing protection, respirator, and hand protection. Keep all guards in place on your machine.
• Avoid use on electric power drills; the slower speeds can result in chipping of your workpiece.
