How to choose the right polishing wheel for a grinder?

Consider several factors when choosing a polishing wheel for your grinder:

1. Choose a wheel suitable for the material you plan to polish. We addressed the issue of how to recognize the material in this article.
2. The roughness or graininess of the disc affects its aggressiveness. High grits (e.g. #400, #800, #1500, #3000 ...) or soft felt discs are suitable for fine polishing and finishing work, while coarse grits are suitable for rough material processing - grinding. We covered this topic in more detail in this article.
3. Choose a polishing wheel for the sander that corresponds to the size and shape of the surface you will be polishing. Larger discs are suitable for large surfaces, while smaller discs are better for detailed work.
