Alpha Felt Wheels
Alpha Felt Wheels are the ultimate choice for achieving a flawless, glossy finish in stone fabrication. Designed with a hook and loop backing, these buffing wheels are perfect for use with polishing powders, pastes, and bars, delivering a deep, mirror-like shine on marble and delicate granite edges such as ogees and bullnoses. Marble fabricators appreciate the exceptional luster, monumentalists value the long-lasting durability, and tile contractors rely on the impressive glossy results to satisfy their customers. Engineered to withstand both the acidic content of most polishing compounds and the heat generated during final buffing, Alpha Felt Wheels maintain superior performance throughout the process. At 1/4” thick, with the ideal balance of hardness and softness, and easy hook-and-loop attachment, they stand out as the best final polishing discs available for marble finishing.
