POLISHING SPEED, HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT POLISHING SPEED

To obtain a perfect polishing, beyond the choice of the compound and the buffing mop, 3 criteria are essential:

The speed of rotation of the disc
The pressure exerted on the part
As well as the duration of the polishing

Whatever the material to be polished, it is important to avoid heating the surface of the piece so as not to modify its surface condition (waviness, orange peel).

If your polishing products, compounds and discs, work correctly, the operator will not be obliged to force, the polishing will be done without deformation of the part, efficiently and quickly.
