Product Overview
Sisal Rope Buffs are used for irregular surface first sanding and grinding, particularly in polishing stainless steel cookware, tanks, and tableware such as forks, spoons, and knives. The buffing wheel has an outer diameter range of 70 mm to 500 mm and an inner diameter of iron teeth from 55 mm to 230 mm. Available in small hexagon sizes of 19 / 6, 24 / 6, and 32 / 6, with options for various hardness treatments or no treatment. A dedicated Sisal Rope Buffs Forming Machine is required to produce these wheels efficiently.
Key Benefits
- Automates the forming of sisal rope buffs, replacing manual assembly steps

Compared With The Alternatives
| Manual Sisal Rope Wrapping | Hand wrapping is slower, inconsistent in tension, and requires multiple workers per shift |
|---|---|
| CRA-800 Bias Airway Buffs Forming Machine | The CRA-800 forms ventilated airway wheels with folded fabric; not suitable for sisal rope construction |
| CRA-300 Iris Machine | The CRA-300 forms small iris wheels for jewellery; not designed for rope-based buff construction |
Use Guide
- Ensure the sisal rope is free of knots and consistent in diameter before loading
- Select the correct iron tooth size and clamp set based on the target wheel dimensions
- Adjust the tension setting according to the hardness of the sisal rope used
- Run a test batch and inspect the rope spacing and wrapping tightness before full production
