Our N5 Airway Buffing Wheels are expertly crafted using the same mill treatments as our Conventional Airway Buffing Wheels, but with a different construction method.
Our buffing wheels are usually constructed using a #2 Pack or #4 Pack, but the N5 Airway Buffing Wheels employ a #5 Pack, creating a denser and more robust buffing wheel due to using a larger amount of treated fabric. The increase in fabric density often contributes to a longer-lasting, more effective buffing wheel.
When it comes to our cut and color Airway Buffing Wheels (Orange, Red, Yellow, Pink, and Purple), those wheels will be made with a 20-Ply Construction.
The Golden Child Buffing Wheel boasts a 26-Ply construction with a double stitch pattern for added durability and density.
Our Finish Airway Buffing Wheels (UBM, Flannel, and Mirror Shine) will be available in both20-Ply and 26-Ply configurations as shown below:
The different fabric construction methods allow for wheels with distinct stiffness levels, catering to the specific needs of different metals/projects. Whether you're working with aluminum, stainless steel, or other metals, our range of buffing wheels provides exceptional performance and results.

UBM, Flannel, and Mirror Shine Wheels: Engineered for the final finish, these versatile wheels can be effectively used for both aluminum and stainless steel, leaving a flawless surface.
Yes! Edge buffing is a technique commonly used in conjunction with an angle grinder, a buffing wheel, and compound. Achieve a shiny, polished edge effortlessly. See below:
Achieving a brilliant finish on aluminum and stainless steel involves a precise two-step process:
For aluminum, start with our Brown Tripoli Metal Polishing Compound paired with our Orange Airway Buffing Wheel. This step is typically done around 3,000 to 3,500 RPM.
Follow up with our Yellow Airway Buffing Wheel combined with our Green Rouge Metal Polishing Compound for the perfect shine. This step is typically done around 2,500 to 3,000 RPM.
When polishing stainless steel, the initial step involves the red airway buffing wheel and Black Magic Compound, followed by the Pink buffing wheel and Yellow Deluxe Compound for added brilliance. This step is typically done around 3,000 to 3,500 RPM.
For an exceptional show-quality shine, consider using a Domet Flannel or UBM buffing wheel with our Blue Rouge Metal Polishing Compound, but be sure to keep the RPMs below 2,200 for optimal results.
To polish aluminum and stainless steel wheels, pair the appropriate metal buffing and polishing compound (as listed above) with a smaller diameter airway buffing wheel to get into the hard-to-reach areas of the wheel.
The buffing wheel should be spinning at it’s normal speed and the rake should be held securely when held up to a stationary bench grinder or lathe. On a grinder, please exercise caution when raking. We recommend using your feet to hold the rake to the ground and holding the angle-grinder to it.
Raking your buff removes hardened and burned on polishing and buffing compound from the edges of your buffing wheel. Compound build up can reduce the efficiency of the buffing wheel while also creating a rougher surface. If you notice a significant decrease in the residual metal dust produced when buffing, rake the buffing wheel and reapply a small amount of metal polishing compound.
