Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use water while polishing with PVA?
No. PVA is designed for DRY polishing only. If you get the PVA wet, it will act like a sponge and expand. PVA will be dangerous to use in this condition and may possibly disintegrate.
Can I polish granite using PVA?
No. PVA is designed to polish soft material such as marble, travertine and onyx. Granite is a dense material and will wear away the PVA by causing the wheels to heat up and melt away. For Granite polishing, we recommend using Alpha® Ceramica or Ceramica EX which are wet polishing systems.
How do I mount the PVA Makita Style onto the grinder?
PVA Makita Style (MS) series has an 5/8” arbor hole that is placed through the tool’s spindle. (A Reinforcement Plate must be placed on tool prior to the PVA). The PVA and reinforcement plate will rest on the tool’s adapter flange and should be secured by the lock nut that is supplied by the manufacturer of the tool.
What are the grit numbers of the PVA and which order do I use them?
The grit and color sequence is as follows: White (40), Red (80), Blue (220), Green (400) and Yellow (600).
Can I skip grits?
No. PVA is designed to be used in sequence, as each higher grit disc removes the scratches left by previous grits. Skipping certain grits will make the time process longer and the life of your abrasives shorter. Also, the final polishing results on the material may not be satisfactory.
What is the maximum rpm at which these PVA Makita Style wheels can be used?
The maximum rpm is 12,000.
Should I use a buffing compound or wax to finish up?
No. One of the advantages of PVA is the beautiful finish it gives without using any wax.
I am using a PVA assortment kit and the white wheel wore out before the others, can I purchase an individual piece of White PVA?
Yes. Alpha® offers PVA for individual sales, we call these “Single Packs”. You can also purchase PVA MS in boxes of ten for each particular grit. (Please refer to the chart)
Can PVA be used on metal?
Yes. PVA works very well on many different type of metal especially stainless steel. As a matter of fact, PVA was initially designed for the metal industry.
Can I use PVA on glass?
Yes. After you cut or score the glass to size, we recommend using the PVA Red and PVA Blue to ease the edge of the glass.
What is in the little bag that is packed with each PVA wheel?
It is drying compound of silica gel desiccant that prevents the PVA wheels from absorbing moisture.
