To achieve a highly polished finish wheels can go through 3 processing steps:
Step 1: Coarse Grinding Wheels go through the grinding process using media 6*6mm which is a concentrated cleaner and polishing compound . Depending on the initial condition of the surface the process time can take between 0.5 to 2 hours.
Step 2: Smoothing After the surface has been cut down it needs to be smoothened and prepared for the polishing stage. This is achieved using media 4*4mm and compound. The time needed to carry out this process can vary from 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 3: Polishing The final stage includes polishing the wheels with media 2*3mm and compound. The process time can take between 6 to 15 minutes. This media is great for achieving a bright highly polished finish.
* This is only a guideline and duration of finishing process may depend on the initial condition of the wheels.
** Size and shape of media will be selected to suit part geometry and avoid any media lodgement.
***Depending on the initial surface condition some wheels may only require the last 2 stages.
