Polishing solutions for stainless steel surfaces
Blade, bolster and handle place different demands on surface finishing. Osborn offers polishing buffs and compounds for an even finish, matched to the workpiece, initial surface and machine.
The illustration shows both sides of a blade being processed by counter-rotating polishing rollers. At the bolster, the thickened transition to the handle, the tool must also follow the contour.
Impregnated sisal cord tools are an option for decorated handles; folded sisal-cloth buffs suit plain surfaces. The handle geometry guides the choice.
Buff construction, material and hardness determine contact with the surface. The compound is then selected for the required material removal and finish. Liquid polishing emulsions allow controlled dosing on automated equipment.
Our application specialists help you assess the combination of tool, compound and machine. Trials under your production conditions support the choice. Find further polishing positions and technical details in the knife catalogue.
Non woven abrasive web is wound around a core and specially treated, resulting in a consistent hardness and level of abrasion over the life of the product.
Non-woven abrasive flaps radially bonded to a durable phenolic core, designed for consistent satin finishing and surface preparation.
L-Buffs made from cotton cloth and sisal are designed for pre-polishing and polishing of complex workpieces where a more aggressive cutting action is required. The folded construction delivers higher abrasive performance than conventional polishing buffs while maintaining excellent surface consistency. Its unique design promotes a cooling air effect, enabling efficient material removal and reducing heat build-up on the workpiece.
L-Buffs are designed for the polishing and finishing of complex workpieces. Their unique folded construction combines excellent performance with a cooling air effect, enabling efficient material processing while reducing heat build-up on the workpiece. The folded structure ensures consistent finishing results, high compound retention, and effective performance across large surface areas.
This brushing emulsion is specially developed to create a uniform matte finish on knife blades and other metal components. It provides controlled abrasive action during brushing processes, effectively refining the surface while preserving the geometry of the workpiece.
