EP-Polishing Buffs<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nEP-Polishing Buffs are manufactured from special, wear-resistant cotton materials. \u201cThread run\u201d of all polishing buffs is always 45\u00b0 to the buff\u2019s circumference e.g. Minimum material wear.<\/p>\n

Outside diameters from 60 to 1000 mm.<\/p>\n

The 45\u00b0 cut to circumference allows for a consistent wear of the buff with very little dust production.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n

Dressing<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nEP-Polishing-Buffs can be dressed prior to delivery to save you the initial dust production on initial use. No \u201cworking-in\u201d time is necessary for the operator.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Balancing<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nCare and attention to detail in the manufacture and folding of the polishing buff minimise unbalance. On spindle mounting, buffs should be rotated randomly to eliminate any rest unbalance.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Impregnation<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nEP-impregnations are environmental friendly, tried, tested and proven. Our L0\/10 impregnation can be used on all types of cloth from NKG \u2013 C32 to increase the longevity of the buff.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Folding<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nThe type of folding determines the firmness or density of EP-Polishing Buffs.
\nRule-of-thumb<\/em>
\n– closed, dense folds = firm to hard buff (corrugated wave buff D1WP and D1B) for aggressive pre-polishing
\n– normal folds = medium to hard, well ventilated standard buffs (type D1A\/K)
\n– open folds = soft, excellent ventilation and the ability to submerge the work piece deep into the polishing roll (type D1C spiral)<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Centers<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nPolishing buffs of all \u201cK\u201d types, i.e. all buffs with steel-clench-ring fitting, are more cost effective than buffs with cardboard centers. Interchangeable, re-usuable steel centers are used plus steel clamping plates to secure buff material on the spindle. The steel-clench-ring does not present any disposal problems.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Solid Cardboard Centers<\/h3><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \nThese can be stapled into all buffs on request for an additional charge. However, these can only be used once.
\nKeyways, hexagonal and round bores are all possible.<\/p>\n
\n
