I have a buffing whell with a 1/2 or 5/8 arbour (cant remember) thatI
picked up years ago.  Its about 3" wide & about 3" diameter.  I would say
it was cloth but its more like a plastic "cloth-like" substance.  A bit
like the 3M abrasive pads but alot thicker & harder.  Also I believe that
it is woven around the end of the arbour.  It is great for putting a matte
finish on metals, and removes metal quickly.  Does anyone think this
sounds familiar or can anyone recommend a place that might know about this
???

Thx alot-

If I were you I would call Brownell's in Montezuma, IA (515) 623-5401.

Ask to talk to a technical expert on bluing, or surface preparation, and
get the best dope available. They sell wheels, motors, and a host of
different buffing coumpounds. 

They are honest, reliable, and the absolute top of the suppliers to the
gun community.

Good luck,

Non-woven abrasives.  In 1" width, I've seen these in the standard catalogs 
(MSC, Enco (verified), etc.) . I don't remember seeing 3". I like 'em.
