Be sure not to get a sewn wheel, get a loose sewn (1 or 2 stitches) and a loose section (1 stitch at the arbor) Spiral sewn and sisal buffs are much to aggressive for keys but good for rough cutting metals. When ordering compound, get a buffing compound not a cutting compound, and I've found that the closer the color to the object your buffing the better. If your interested in knowing, I use 1hp Baldor buffing machines @1750 rpm with 10 inch dia. wheels. Separate machines for plastic, ivory, ebony and metals. Rake your wheels occasionally to keep them clean. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ross <mailto:jrpiano@win.eastlink.ca> To: Pianotech <mailto:pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 1:16 PM Subject: Re: buffing keytops Thank you Michael. Where are those Canton flannel buffers available from? Lapidary supply stores carry a wide variety of "buffs," as well as compounds for plastic.
