This image displays a single PFERD FK WRC abrasive felt. It features a light-colored, round felt head attached to a slender, metallic shank. The felt head is designed for polishing and treating small concave contours.

2. Setup and Preparation

Before using the abrasive felts, ensure your rotary tool is in good working condition and compatible with a 2.35 mm shank diameter. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves.

1. Tool Compatibility: Verify that your rotary tool or polishing machine accepts a shank diameter of 2.35 mm.
2. Secure Mounting: Insert the shank of the abrasive felt firmly into the collet or chuck of your rotary tool. Tighten securely to prevent slippage during operation.
3. Pre-Inspection: Before each use, inspect the felt for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Do not use damaged felts.

3. Operating Instructions

These abrasive felts are designed for polishing applications. Adhere to the recommended maximum operating speed for optimal performance and safety.

• Maximum Speed: Do not exceed 79,500 revolutions per minute (rpm). Operating above this speed can lead to premature wear or tool failure.
• Material Application: These felts are effective on a variety of materials, including:
  • Aluminum
  • Cobalt-based alloys
  • Nickel-based alloys (e.g., Inconell, Hasteloy)
  • Bronze
  • Titanium and Titanium alloys
  • Copper
• Technique: Apply light, consistent pressure. Allow the felt to do the work. For small concave contours, the round shape of the WRC felt is particularly effective.
• Polishing Compound: For best results, use an appropriate polishing compound suitable for the material being worked on.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your abrasive felts and ensures consistent performance.

• Cleaning: After use, gently clean any residue from the felt surface. For stubborn compounds, a soft brush or appropriate cleaning agent can be used, ensuring the felt is dry before storage.
• Storage: Store felts in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging or a suitable container to prevent damage.
• Wear Inspection: Regularly inspect felts for signs of excessive wear, fraying, or hardening. Replace felts that show significant wear to maintain polishing quality and safety.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during operation, consider the following common solutions:

• Poor Finish:
  • Ensure the felt is clean and not clogged with material or old compound.
  • Verify that the correct polishing compound is being used for the material.
  • Check if the felt is worn out and needs replacement.
  • Adjust pressure and speed; too much pressure can cause burning or uneven finish.
• Excessive Felt Wear:
  • Confirm that the operating speed does not exceed the maximum recommended 79,500 rpm.
  • Reduce applied pressure.
  • Ensure the felt is suitable for the hardness of the material being polished.
• Felt Slipping in Chuck:
  • Ensure the shank is fully inserted and the chuck/collet is tightened securely.
  • Clean the shank and chuck to remove any debris that might prevent a firm grip.
