6″ Medium Cut Airway Buffing Wheel – Metal Polishing

The compact version of our medium cut wheel — the bridging step between heavy cut and finishing, sized for tighter, more intricate areas where a 10″ wheel is too bulky. Think fuel tank ends, step edges, toolbox corners, and rims. 16-ply cotton construction keeps the wheel stable and controlled in close quarters.

Best For Medium cut in tight spaces — refining after heavy cut, or starting point on sounder metal
Wheel Colour Yellow
Wheel Size 6″ / 152mm
Centre Size 2″ centres
Ply 16 ply
Cut Level Medium
Compatible Compounds Menzerna 439T Green Rouge (firmer cut) or P14F White Rouge (refining)
Max Speed 3,500 RPM
Compatible Tools Bench grinder or angle grinder fitted with a 2″ safety flange set

How To Use: Mount with a matched 2″ safety flange for balance and safety. Apply your compound to the wheel face and work in overlapping passes, letting the wheel and compound do the work rather than forcing pressure — especially important in tight areas where control matters more than speed. Approximate starting speed is 3,500 RPM with either compound.

Two ways to run this wheel. With 439T it becomes a cutting wheel — less aggressive than 439T on a red wheel, which makes it a good choice when the metal needs real work but not the hardest cut available. With P14F it refines, tidying up the finish after a heavy cut stage or working sound metal straight to a good surface.

One compound per wheel. The wheel type takes either compound, but each individual wheel you own should only ever meet one of them. If you want to run both 439T and P14F on yellow wheels, buy two and keep them separate.
