Woven cloth and sisal buffs are more aggressive than cloth only finger buffs and slightly firmer. These buffs are used for cut down and color on all metals where deep penetration is needed as in lapping or mush buffing in tough to reach locations.
Regular folds with cotton cloth, make this large diameter cloth meter buff an aggressive tool with good compound retention and extended life with controlled indexing. Manufactured in large diameters of 28" to 40". Perfect for buffing with low RPM's to achieve maximum surface speed.
Regular folds with a sandwich of sisal web and cotton cloth, make this large diameter cloth and sisal meter buff an aggressive tool with good compound retention and extended life with controlled indexing. Manufactured in large diameters of 28" to 40". Perfect for buffing with low RPM's to achieve maximum surface speed. Perfect for robotic polishing cells.
These buffs have a soft face with some flexibility and are effective tools for contact buffing and provide excellent cut and color options. The pleats are designed to allow for maximum face coverage and flex during mush buffing. The pre-pleating of the cloth causes edge surface to have a random configuration and the plies do not all lay together. This will help eliminate streaking when no oscillation is possible. This buff makes up a softer wheel to reach into recesses and contours.
These buffs have a soft buff face with excellent cushion and are ideal for mush buffing highly complex and contoured parts as they rotate thru the buff. The flat, regular pleats offer an excellent surface for retention of Osborn liquid and solid compounds.
The standard ventilated airway buff with no seams in the form, suitable for almost every step in the polishing process. Many qualities of cloth can be selected for high color polishing on flat or contoured surfaces. The irregular folds fixed to a metal clinch ring form a flexible and economical buff with even wear without excess trimming needed. Buffs can be used individually or mounted on a wide shaft, depending on the equipment available.
The most resilient Osborn cloth buff. The regular waves fixed around a core, offer stability and a long service life. Despite the high density of the material, the construction still offers a cooling effect.
The combination for dense sisal web and cotton cloth, folded in regular waves, results in a very hard cutting buff, ideal for removing oxidation or other first steps in the polishing process. A very useful tool if there is little or no oscillation.

Sisal is a natural material, perfect for the polishing process due to its excellent compound retention properties. Sisal buffs are aggressive and usually follow a coated abrasive grinding process.
An extensive range of different cloths in natural or mill-treated form has been developed to meet the demands of the polishing industry.
Abrasive non-wovens consist of tangled nylon and/or polyester web with different types of abrasive grit particles resin bonded to the fibers. The material has an open and flexible structure, as it wears new abrasive is exposed to create a uniform and consistent finish, whether on a flat or slightly profiled surface. Abrasive grit particles are usually Silicon Carbide or Aluminum Oxide. The material can be used in both wet and dry operations.
Osborn offers a range of coated abrasive tools, making the most of the best materials on the market and our manufacturing expertise.
Metal Centerplates, Nylon, and Aluminum accessories can be used to reduce the inside diameter of Buffs. Osborn cloths are often mill treated (at source) according to our specific demands, to make them stiffer or more flexible, longer wearing, or to perfectly suit the Osborn polishing compounds. Alternatively, finished buffs made from cloth or combinations of cloth and sisal web, are dip-treated for extended service life, greater hardness, or flexibility. Check out the various options
