Integrated Polishing System Symptoms
- The felt polishing point turns quickly but the compound feels dry or inactive.
- The surface brightens slowly or unevenly.
Troubleshooting
Small felt tools may not generate enough heat for standard polishing paste
An 8 mm felt tool at 15000 rpm has much lower surface speed than a 6 inch wheel at 2500 rpm.
Likely causes
- An 8 mm felt tool at 15000 rpm has about 6.28 m/s surface speed, far below a 6 inch wheel at 2500 rpm.
- The compound binder may not reach the working state expected on a larger wheel.
Checks
- Measure or estimate felt tool diameter.
- Check rpm and compare surface speed with the reference table.
Recommended fixes
- Use LUXI Green as the controlled low-temperature route.
- Use minimal compound and short passes instead of increasing pressure.
Prevention
- Do not judge small felt tools by rpm alone.
- Develop felt-tool routes separately from standard wheel polishing.
