@renegadeusashop: A buffing wheel rake is a tool used to clean, condition, and reshape buffing wheels during metal polishing. Purpose • Removes built-up compound: Buffing wheels can get clogged with dried polishing compound, which reduces effectiveness. A rake scrapes off the hardened residue. • Exposes fresh fibers: By cleaning the surface, it reopens the cloth or sisal fibers so the wheel cuts and polishes efficiently. • Reshapes the wheel: Over time, buffing wheels can become uneven or glazed. Raking evens out the face, ensuring smooth, consistent contact with the metal. Design • Typically has a wooden or metal handle with a row of hardened steel teeth or a spiked steel head. • Some are mounted on handles like a file, while others come as foot-pedal operated rakes for use with larger airway buffing wheels. Usage • Hold the rake firmly against the spinning buffing wheel (always at operating speed). • Apply steady pressure to scrape away caked compound and fluff the wheel’s fibers. • Should be used regularly during polishing to maintain wheel performance and achieve a uniform finish. @Renegade Products USA @AlmostChrome
