The hard type is ideal for pre-polishing flat surfaces and the soft type is optimal for buffing and work on workpieces with lots of contours.
If very fine finishes need to be achieved, the two types can be used successively. This requires the use of suitable polishing pastes. Felt flap discs are used with polishing pastes for pre-polishing and high-gloss polishing of medium to large-sized components. With its flap design, this polishing tool adapts ideally to the workpiece contours. The thermal load of the workpiece is significantly reduced.
