How do I know when to use a buffing wheel rake?

Proper use of a buffing wheel rake is key to maintaining your Buffing Wheel's performance. Signs indicating it's time to rake include excessive metal polishing compound on the wheel, decreased residual aluminum dust during buffing, and a silver-ish shine on the wheel's edge. Raking the buffing wheel removes excess compound and restores the wheel's effectiveness. It should be part of your maintenance routine, followed by application of fresh metal polishing compound. Regular use of a rake ensures consistent, outstanding results. Pay attention to these signs to know when to rake during your metal polishing routine.

How should a buffing wheel rake be used?

To effectively use a buffing wheel rake, it is important to follow these guidelines. First, ensure that the buffing wheel is running at its regular speed. Next, securely position the rake against a stationary bench grinder or lathe. If using an angle grinder, exercise extra caution to avoid accidentally releasing both the grinder and rake. To provide stability, anchor the rake to the ground with your feet while holding the angle grinder securely against it. This approach allows for the removal of metal polishing compound buildup and the softening of the buffing wheel's edges without compromising its integrity.
