The GlossFire Flat Edge polishing discs are designed for polishing straight edges – they can be used with any in-line flat (straight) edge polishing machine using a snail lock attachment, such as machines manufactured by Marmo Meccanica, Sasso Meccanica (Flying Flat, Flat 62, Flat 8.4, Flat 10.4), Park Industries (Fastback), Montesor (Lola) and others.
GlossFire discs are produced in COPPER Bond and RESIN Bond:
- COPPER GlossFire discs come in 30, 50, 70, 100, 200, 400, 600 grit
- RESIN GlossFire discs come in 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and BUFF
- Offered in 4″, 5″ and 6″ size with Snail lock attachment.
Suggested Application Data for GlossFire polishing discs on NATURAL STONE materials:
- For 5 head machines, start with grit 200 resin and follow with grits 500, 1000, 2000 and Buff.
- For 6 head machines, start with grit 100 resin and follow with grits 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and Buff. For machines with 2 -spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (1 upper + 1 lower)
- For 8 head machines, start with grit 100 copper and follow with grit 100 resin. After that continue with 200 copper, 200 resin, 500, 1000, 2000 and Buff.
- For machines with 2 -spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (1 upper + 1 lower). For machines with 4 -spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (2 upper + 2 lower).
- For 10 head machines, start with grit 100 copper and follow with grit 50 resin. After that continue with 100 resin, 200 copper, 500, 1000, 2000 and Buff. For machines with 2 -spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (1 upper + 1 lower).
- For machines with 4 -spindle bevel unit, use cooper bond chamfer wheels (2 upper + 2 lower).
NOTE: Start at 30 PSI (2 bars) and increase the pressure by 5 PSI (0.3 bars) at each consequent step. For example, if you start with grit 100, you have to set the machine at 30 PSI. For grit 200 – 35 PSI, grit 500 – 40 PSI, grits 1000, 2000 and BUFF – 50PSI.
Suggested Application Data for GlossFire polishing discs on ENGINEERED (man-made) materials:
- For 5 head machines, start with grit 200, 400, 600 copper bonds and follow with grits 1000, 2000 resin bond.
- For 6 head machines, start with grit 100, 200, 400, 600 copper bonds and follow with grits 1000, 2000 resin bond.
- For 8 head machines, start with grit 70, 100, 200, 400, 600 copper bonds and follow with grits 500, 1000, 2000 resin bond
- For 9 or 10 head machines, start with grit 50, 70, 100, 200, 400, 600 copper bonds and follow with grits 500, 1000, 2000 resin bond. You can leave one of the heads empty or double grit 200 copper bond.
NOTE: Start at 30 PSI (2 bars) and increase the pressure by 5 PSI (0.3 bars) at each consequent step. For example, if you start with grit 100, you have to set the machine at 30 PSI. For grit 200 – 35 PSI, grit 500 – 40 PSI, grits 1000, 2000 and BUFF – 50PSI
For machines with 2-spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (1 upper + 1 lower).
For machines with 4 -spindle bevel unit, use copper bond chamfer wheels (2 upper + 2 lower).
