Figure 5 Wheel types.
The following table presents the material and sizes of the different wheels:
Note:
The polishing rings have a limited lifetime and should be replaced regu-
larly. Take care not to get the felt polishing rings contaminated and do not mix
different polishing compounds on the same ring.
Caution:
Be careful to ensure that the male and female surfaces of the wheels
and axle assembly are kept clean. Do not flood the male taper with solvents to
clean the axle, as this may flush grit or compounds into the axle assembly lead-
ing to wear and impaired performance. Clean the axle with a lens tissue lightly
