It is not easy to master the art of hand buffing with a buffing wheel traveling at these speeds. It is time consuming and tedious to buff all areas of the part .The contact area of the buffing wheel on the part is relatively small. Out of need, the Europeans developed a totally revolutionary concept for manual buffing. They have developed a hand buffing lathe that is capable of using wheels up to a maximum of 40 inches in diameter. The theory is that at low rpms 250 to 400 rpms, the arc of contact is large, completely engulfing the part. Since the speed is low, the operator can completely immerse the part in the buff without having it pulled from his hands. The time required to cut and color buff parts is dramatically reduced. Much less effort is required by the operator as compared to conventional small wheel buffing. The part remains much cooler. An unskilled operator can be trained in a day to produce good parts. The large buff is capable of finishing small as well as large parts. The "mush" buffing allows the buff to reach areas that are normally difficult to buff . The finish is much more uniform then conventionally buffed parts. Normally color buffing requires a higher skill level than cut buffing. The presentation of the part to the buffing wheel is critical in order to obtain a scratch free, grease free, non-directional finish. With the large buff, low speed technology color buffing, becomes a simple process. The operator can completely immerse the part in the wheel producing a bright scratch free surface.             Back                        Next
