Emery cake buffing compound is really a tallow grease base (with a high melting point) impregnated with natural aluminum oxide.  Intended for use on a set-up polishing wheel to soften the sharp cutting action of a newly-set-up wheel through lubrication and to prevent the polishing wheel from loading and glazing. 

Its use definitely lengthens the life of the polishing wheel head by replacing a portion of the abrasive lost through wear.  Because it lubricates, a brighter, smoother finish is obtained than can be accomplished with a dry polishing wheel. 

FEATURES

• lubricant for set-up polishing wheels and belts
• excellent cutting compound on sisal wheels
• use on heavy-duty work
