Grab everything you need to get started in parts restoration with one click! The Pryme Cleaning Wheel Starter Pack will get your bench grinder or buffing machine ready to go for some serious buffing. These wheels effectively transform your parts in just a few passes.
What Does It Do?
- Fine wheel cleans and shines metals and leaves behind a brushed type finish
- Coarse wheel blends in scratches and scrapes, sands away casting texture and markings, and also works great for removal of rust, corrosion, and paint
- Wheels work well for paint preparation as well
- Best for aluminum, but can be used on steel, stainless steel, magnesium, and brass with great results too
- Flanges and spacers safely secure the wheels to your machine and ensure no slipping occurs
How Does It Work?
These wheels mount on a bench grinder or buffing machine. Available in 6" and 8" wheel diameter. Available for 1/2" (12.7mm), 5/8" (16mm), and 3/4" (19mm) buffer shaft sizes.

Flange Specs
Wheel flanges ensure your buffing wheel stays in place on the machine while buffing. Installing a flange on either side of your wheel clamps the wheel securely to the shaft.
The drilled flange style features drilled holes to provide a better grip on the wheel and help keep the wheel cool.
- 2" - 2 1/4" overall diameter (depending on buffer shaft size)
- 1/3" wide
- Made from CNC machined aluminum for a trick look and great durability
Spacer Specs
Open up more space for your buffing activities with the wheel spacers. These spacers push the wheel towards the end of the buffing machine's shaft, creating more space between the wheel and the machine.
- 1/2" width
- CNC machined from aluminum for a perfect fit

These wheels are designed to be used on a buffing machine or bench grinder. They can be used on a machine with a 1/2", 5/8", or 3/4" shaft. For a buffing machine, you'll want at least a 1/2 HP motor that spins at 3000 RPM. One with an extended shaft is best, so you have lots of clearance to buff your parts. If you'll be doing lots of buffing, opt for a 3/4 HP motor.
Machine Recommendations:

Installation
- Secure wheel to buffer shaft with a flange on either side.
- Tighten down the nut until the wheel is secure on the shaft and doesn’t spin (use a spacer if your nut bottoms out on the threads).
Buffing
- Remove as much grease, oil, and dirt as you can before using the wheels, so you’re not contaminating them.
- Sand or buff in the same direction if you’re going for a brushed look. Intersecting scratches do not look good.
- Try to buff evenly across the part so you don't end up with dips or low spots.
- Use light pressure with the wheel or you'll wear it out prematurely. If you need to apply heavy pressure, you should go to a more aggressive wheel. Refer to buffing chart below.
- In order to make the wheels last as long as possible, stay away from sharp edges. The direction of the wheel should be spinning away from an edge and not towards it. Adjust the orientation of the part accordingly.
- The sweet spot to buff on the wheel is between 4 and 5 o’clock. Look at your buffing machine from the left side, and picture where 4 and 5 o’clock are on the wheels. That is where you will want the part to touch the wheel when buffing.
- Refer to the buffing chart below for the proper wheels to use with each metal type, as well as the steps to achieve the desired finish.
- If you have problems achieving a good finish, refer to the troubleshooting guide below.
- Always wear a dust mask or respirator and eye protection while buffing!
After Buffing:
- A clear ceramic coating will protect your part after buffing.
- Steel and magnesium parts must be protected with a coating, bare steel will rust quickly and magnesium corrodes in a matter of hours. Stainless steel and aluminum can be left bare without corrosion issues, as long as you keep the parts clean and out of the weather during storage.
- To achieve a consistent brushed look on larger parts, finish it by hand with a hand pad, going in the same direction you were buffing in.
