Step up your part preparation a notch with a Pryme Coarse Cleaning Wheel! This wheel effectively transforms your part in just a few passes.
What Does It Do?
- Blends in scratches and scrapes
- Sands away casting texture and markings
- Also works great for removal of rust, corrosion, and paint
- Achieves a brushed type finish
- Works well for paint preparation
- Best for aluminum, but can be used on steel, stainless steel, magnesium, and brass with great results too
How Does It Work?
Available in 4", 6", and 8" wheel diameter. This wheel mounts on a bench grinder or buffing machine, but the 4" wheel can be used on a drill as well. Available for 1/2" (12.7mm), 5/8" (16mm), and 3/4" (19mm) buffer shaft sizes.
The larger the wheel, the longer it will last. Smaller wheels work better in tighter areas however and also cost a bit less. Wheels can be stacked on machine for a wider buffing path. Use a Flap Wheel for a more consistent finish on larger parts.

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:
2 Speed 3/4 HP Baldor Buffer (will last a lifetime)

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.

Coarse Cleaning Wheel
Thanks for your review Brett!
This tractor seat support has a taper as well as a bend. When finishing this type of shape, it is difficult to produce an even finish around the circumference and along the length at the same time. I gang up 3 of the 8-inch cleaning wheels on a buffer (with extended arms) The three wheel arrangement allows me to roll the part easily without it being pushed to one side - or out of my grip. I can also side-wheel in tight spots.
Thank you for the feedback Chris! Happy to hear the wheels are making a difference for you. Your support of Pryme is much appreciated!
