Encyclopedia about wool wheels

Wool wheel is a polishing and grinding material made of high-density wool fibers, mainly divided into two types: roll wool wheel and pure wool wheel. It is used in conjunction with polishing powder and coolant for surface polishing and repair of materials such as glass, ceramics, stone, and metal. Especially as a final tool in glass processing, it can eliminate shallow scratches and improve glossiness [1-2].
This product is divided into flat wool wheels and covered wool wheels according to hardness and structure. The former is suitable for large machinery, with specifications ranging from 100-400 millimeters in diameter and 10-60 millimeters in thickness, including glued and unglued types; The latter is equipped with a supporting role mill, with a common diameter of 80-125mm and a thickness of 6-12mm. The production process controls porosity and thickness by extending the shrinking time, and can achieve a customized balance between elasticity and wear resistance by adjusting the thickness and density of wool fibers.
Wool wheels are widely used in the fields of automotive paint repair, stainless steel product polishing, electronic product shell processing, and glass product processing, and are compatible with various equipment such as straight edge machines and beveled edge machines. When used in conjunction with solid polishing wax in metal polishing, it can achieve efficient mirror effect without damaging the surface of the workpiece.
Wool wheel is a necessary wheel for glass polishing, used in the final process of glass polishing. It can play a role in removing scratches and brightening, and can also be used as one of the combination polishing wheels to eliminate shallow surface scratches on glass, together with polishing powder coolant. Used for polishing straight edge machines, beveled edge machines, irregular beveled edge machines, and irregular edge grinders.
The material of wool wheels is classified according to hardness, and wool wheels with different hardness are used to process different objects
Wool wheels are divided into flat wool wheels, covered wool wheels, and are commonly used polishing tools and abrasives.
How to choose depends on what product you want to polish. Generally, wool wheels are used for polishing glass products, medical equipment, precision instruments, wood, jewelry, stainless steel crafts, and stainless steel plates.
Flat wool wheels are commonly used on large machines, with specifications of 100, 125, 150, 180, 200, 230, 250, 300, 400, etc ... etc., with a thickness of 10-60MM, fast speed, polished surface gloss, can save time. The flat wool wheel is made of pure wool, with and without glue,
The wool wheel with cover is used on angle grinders, and the specifications are generally divided into 80, 85, 90, 95, 98, 100, 125 and other specifications. The thickness is generally divided into 6-12mm.
The production process of wool wheels is different from that of industrial flat felt. The shrinking time is long, the structure is tight, and the pores are small. Unlike fabrics, which are limited by latitude and longitude, the thickness of wool wheels is easy to control, the density can be produced according to requirements, and the wear resistance is good. The characteristics of wool wheels are not present in every specification of product. For example, if the density of a strong wool wheel is too high, it will lose elasticity; if the density is too low, it will lose wear resistance. The length and thickness of the wool material also affect the characteristics, and can be customized according to actual applications.
