In this review, the wizard shows how you can do polishing wheels on emery with your own hands. Such circles are perfect for rough polishing of various metal products. At the same time, making them easier than ever.
In most cases, a set of two circles for polishing will be enough for the home workshop. The master makes the first circle from what was at hand — the shafts of old felt boots (the material is coarse wool).
Felt is also used to make the second emery wheel, but of medium hardness. First of all, the master cuts out circles of the required diameter from felt. In the center, make holes with a punch.
The main stages of work
First, the master makes the first polishing wheel - from coarse wool (from boots). All you need will be four blanks on it. They must be glued together, clamped with a clamp and left until the glue completely dries.
In the same way, a second polishing wheel is made of medium hard felt. Additionally, you will need to find or make your own round clamping plates of metal or plywood.
Then the master sets both circles on the emery shaft, and processes the edges with a rasp. After that, you can proceed to rough polishing of parts and blanks.
For details on how to make polishing wheels on emery with your own hands, you can see in the video on our website.
