Hi Eli

Yes, speed makes a difference to the results – a higher speed will get results quicker. However generally you will want not want to use a high-speed setting, as a slower speed is more controllable, and so you will be able to achieve a more even finish. 1400 RPM would be ideal.

Hi Bojan

It depends on the finish that you want. Generally speaking the more steps you take, the better the final result will be. So, a felt wheel after the artifex should be able to remove all of the marks left by the artifex wheel, which will make it easier to get that high polish with the cotton mops. Also, because it is rigid, it is easier to maintain the lines and curves in a case with a felt mop.

Thank you so much. So after using artifex wheel should i go for the second step with blue compound with cotton wheel and then to finish with green compound with cotton wheel or to go with felt wheel and gray compound after artifex and then blue one and green?
Thanks

Hi Bojan, I used 250. You can use a lower grit, but you may find that you’ll introduce heavier scratches and it’s very easy to remove to much material.

Thanks Colin for your response. What grit artifex wheel I should get?
Thanks

Thanks Bojan, I would say that you’ll need to use an artifex wheel for deeper scratches, as you’ll also have greater control over the shape of material you are removing.

What wheel you use are a personal preference. You can use just felt, or just cotton for everything, but for myself I use a felt wheel to cut and a cotton wheel to polish and finish.
