Osborn has been producing buffing tools and compounds for over 135 years; as such they are perhaps the world’s largest world’s largest surface treatment and finishing provider.
Non-Woven Airway buffs are designed for light to medium duty applications where coated abrasives are too aggressive or not applicable. The pleated design provides a more uniform finish than full disc wheels and help prevent rippling in your finish. Used to produce decorative finishes, remove parting lines, for light deburring, breaking edges, sealer sanding, and rust removal.
Pairs with: Non-woven abrasive buffs are not used with buffing compounds; the abrasive effect is (typically) achieved by aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives that adheres to the webbing via globules of resin.
Non-woven abrasive buffing wheels do not need raking. Does not include a center reducer plate. Requires the use of a self-centering safety flange set or standard end flanges (ideally) in conjunction with a center reducer plate for proper mounting and safe operation. Industrial grade.
Max RPM: 1000 RPM

Working with extremely oxidized and beat up diamond plate boxes as well as grated steps that can’t be prepped is one of my least favourite parts of a truck to polish, but this wheel makes them a breeze. Run over the uneven surfaces at a low rpm and you will knock off all the built up contaminants that make the polishing steps a pain. Also works well in the rain gutter on drive wheels. Game changing for those who have to prep beat up pieces.
