Lee Valley Tim Skilton Lamb’s Wool Buffs

These durable wool buffs are a quick and convenient way to apply a lustrous finish to any turning. The wool provides just enough friction to promote penetration by reducing polish viscosity and build a shine without producing excessive heat. The loop-backed buffs attach to the hook facing of 2″ and 3″ Skilton sanding pads, which can be chucked in a drill. Together, they can be spun against the work as it runs in the lathe or, for freehand buffing, they can be held in a Jacobs chuck in the lathe headstock or drill press.

The oversized buffs extend past the edge of the tapered Skilton pads, providing enough reach to polish in undercuts or other recessed areas. Used with wax or Danish oil, they can be cleaned with detergent and water for reuse.
