The choice of the ideal satin finishing wheel with the best suited dimensions, facing and hardness must be determined based on the customer’s requirements. We have many years of experience and would be pleased to advise you by phone or email on a high quality and cost-effective satin finishing wheel for your process.
Applications
As a rule the surface treatment of wood takes place with satin finishing wheels which have an silicon carbide facing. Grinding with this facing produces a silky lustre effect on the workpiece’s surface.
Material: Wood
Workpiece type: Profiled or flat wooden parts
Grinding operation: Surface and profile grinding
Handling: automatic grinding, hand-operated machines, grinding by hand
Examples: Mouldings, doors, furniture, intermediate varnish sanding, etc.
Optional cutting speed
To achieve best results, the speed should lie between 15-20 m/s. To achieve a perfect surface on the workpiece, it is recommended that the satin finishing wheel runs as slowly as possible while applying light pressure. Higher speeds and higher pressure reduce both the service life of the satin finishing wheel and the quality of the workpiece surface.
