Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the best buffing wheel for polishing rocks and gemstone cabochons at home?
A: For polishing rocks and gemstone cabochons at home, use a cloth wheel with cerium oxide for soft stones like opal, turquoise, and glass. For hard lapidary stones like agate, jasper, and quartz, use a cloth wheel with fine diamond compound paste (8,000–50,000 grit) for a mirror-quality final polish. Run the wheel at low to medium speed and apply light, even pressure.
-
Q: What polishing compound should I use with a cloth buffing wheel for metal jewelry?
A: Use tripoli compound for initial scratch removal and surface preparation, then switch to a clean wheel with jeweler’s rouge (red rouge for gold and silver, white rouge for platinum and chrome) for the final high-gloss mirror polish. Always use a separate wheel for each compound.
-
Q: Can I use a cloth buffing wheel on a Dremel or rotary tool for stone polishing?
A: Yes — small cloth buffing wheels are available for Dremel-style rotary tools and flex shaft machines for detail polishing on carved stones, gemstone beads, and small cabochons. Apply a tiny amount of polishing compound and work at low speed (5,000–10,000 RPM).
