This kit adds the smaller wheels for the spots where a 10″ wheel is too bulky to work comfortably — fuel tank ends, steps, toolbox corners, brackets and other truck components. Four 6″ airway wheels covering heavy cutting through to finishing, plus the 2″ safety flange set you need to mount them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built as an add-on for customers who already have a polishing setup and their own compounds.

The firmer the wheel, the harder the same compound cuts — so the wheel you pick changes the result as much as the bar you load it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Cutting — Red Heavy Cut Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe firmest wheel in the kit. For the first, hardest stage on oxidised, marked or freshly sanded metal. Pairs with Menzerna 439T. Maximum speed 3,500 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium Cutting — Yellow Medium Cut Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSofter than red. With 439T it gives a milder cut for metal that needs real work but not the hardest cut available; with P14F it refines the surface after the heavy cut. Maximum speed 3,500 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolishing — Untreated Cotton Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSofter again, and the most versatile wheel in the kit. It changes character with the compound you load: mild cutting with 439T, refining with P14F, or colouring and lifting haze with 480BLF. Maximum speed 3,500 RPM; around 2,200 RPM is a good starting speed with 480BLF.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing — Flannel Finishing Wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe softest wheel in the kit. It cannot cut — it only finishes. Use 480BLF or P175 sparingly with light pressure for the final gloss. Maximum speed 1,800 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne compound per wheel, for life.\u003c\/strong\u003e Applying a different compound to a wheel that is already loaded contaminates the finish and undoes your finer stages. Label your wheels if you have to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMounting \u0026amp; Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four wheels have 2″ centres and mount on the included small safety flange set — a CNC-machined, two-piece self-centring aluminium flange with an M14×2 thread. It keeps the wheel running true, with less vibration and consistent clamping across the wheel face. Maximum speed 3,500 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck your machine before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e The flange needs an M14×2 spindle thread. Never exceed the lowest maximum speed rating of the wheel, flange or machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck your clearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 6″ wheel gets into tighter spots than a 10″, but it will not suit every confined area.
