The Alpha® Felt Wheel is a very popular material for the final buff process in stone fabrication. Alpha® Felt Wheels are hook and loop backed buffing wheels designed for use with polishing powders, polishing pastes, and polishing bars to bring out a deep glossy finish on marble and delicate granite edges such as ogees & bullnoses. Marble fabricators love the luster they obtain. Monumentalists like the durability of the Alpha® Felt Wheel. Tile contractors rave about the glossy finish they can present to their customers. We designed Alpha® Felt Wheels specifically to hold up to the acidic contents of most polishing compounds and the heat that is typically generated during the final polishing process. Alpha® Felt Wheels are 1/4” thick and have the perfect degree of hardness versus softness. These factors combined with the easy use of the hook and loop backing, make Alpha® Felt Wheels the best available final polishing discs for marble.
