07T602 - Walter 6-Inch High-Density Merino Felt Polishing Wheel

Professional Grade Polishing with Merino Felt

The Walter 07T602 6" High-Density Merino Felt Wheel is a premium abrasive accessory designed for industrial finishing and polishing operations. Engineered from top-tier Merino wool, this felt disc offers a dense, consistent structure that is essential for achieving uniform mirror finishes on hard metals. Unlike lower-grade synthetic felts, the high-density natural fibers in this wheel provide excellent resilience and heat dissipation, preventing glazing and ensuring the polishing compound is applied evenly across the workpiece surface.

This wheel is specifically calibrated for the final stages of metal fabrication where aesthetics and surface smoothness are paramount. It is particularly effective when upgrading #4 finishes to a #8 mirror finish on stainless steel, or for bringing out a high luster on aluminum and mild steel components. The 7/8" arbor ensures compatibility with standard industrial angle grinders, allowing fabricators to utilize their existing power tools for high-end finishing tasks without the need for specialized bench buffers.

For optimal results, this felt wheel should be used in conjunction with appropriate polishing pastes or compounds. The porous yet firm nature of the Merino felt holds the abrasive compound securely, maximizing the cutting and polishing action while minimizing product waste. Whether you are removing minor surface imperfections, blending previous sanding marks, or executing a final high-gloss polish, the Walter 07T602 delivers the reliability and performance required in professional metalworking environments.

Technical Application Notes

When using the 07T602, it is recommended to ensure the workpiece has been properly prepared with a progressive sanding sequence before the final polish. Attempting to polish deep scratches without prior sanding will result in visible defects. This wheel is rated for use on angle grinders; operators should verify the RPM rating of their tool matches the safe operating speed of the accessory to ensure safety and finish quality.
