Description
Edge-contact polishing for high-gloss results. The Proxxon felt polishing wheels are designed for light stock removal and mirror-finish polishing on metals — including gold, silver, brass, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys. The wheel profile delivers precise edge contact, making these ideal for polishing grooves, edges, slots, and narrow profiles where flat-face bits can't reach cleanly.

Wheel vs. Disc — What's the Difference?
The wheel profile contacts the workpiece on its edge, concentrating polishing action in a narrow band — perfect for grooves, edges, and slots. The disc-shape bit (No. 28803) contacts on its face, covering broader flat surfaces. Use wheels for detail edge work; use discs for open flat surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rotary tools are these compatible with?
These wheels fit any Micromot-compatible tool with a 3/32" (2.35mm) collet, including the IBS/E and IBS/A.
Should I use polishing compound with these?
Yes — for high-gloss results on precious metals, apply a small amount of jeweler's rouge or metal polishing compound to the wheel edge before use.
Why 10 pieces instead of 2?
Felt wheels wear faster than the larger disc and cylindrical bits due to their smaller contact area and edge-focused use. The 10-pack ensures you have plenty on hand for extended polishing sessions.
