Wolfhead Polishing Wheels and Sanding Wheels
Precision Finishing with Wolfhead Polishing and Sanding Wheels
At G&P Machinery, we are proud to offer Wolfhead polishing wheels and Wolfhead sanding wheels, widely regarded as the industry standard for finishing complex, contoured surfaces. These unique abrasive tools are engineered for versatility, bridging the gap between rigid grinding wheels and flexible buffing mops. The "Wolfhead" design features a central hub populated with high-quality abrasive strips, allowing the wheel to conform effortlessly to the irregular shapes of a workpiece without losing its cutting or polishing efficiency.
The primary advantage of the Wolfhead system is its ability to provide a consistent finish on intricate parts—such as ornate metalwork, furniture components, or rounded castings—that standard flat belts cannot reach. These wheels are available in various configurations, including brush-backed sanding wheels for wood and metal smoothing, as well as specialized polishing wheels for high-lustre metal finishing. Because the abrasive strips are replaceable, the Wolfhead system is an incredibly cost-effective long-term solution for high-volume shops. By reducing the need for manual hand-sanding on complex geometries, Wolfhead wheels from G&P Machinery significantly increase throughput while maintaining the exacting standards of finish quality that your clients demand.

Follow The Contour
The Wolfhead Sanding Wheel lowers cost and reduces rejection rates associated with sanding mouldings and shaped wooden parts. The Wolfhead provides consistent finishes to both flat and intricate surfaces. Cushioning bristles work the abrasive strips into and around:
* Corners
* Fluted surfaces
* Hollow surfaces
* Small openings
​
Easy To Load
The abrasive is stored in the wheel. As it wears, fresh abrasive is released. Installing new abrasive is done easily quickly with packaged coated abrasive available in a variety of grits, bonds, and shreds from
regular sources.

Standard Trim and Long Trim Brushes
Standard trim brushes have a bristle length of 1 1/2", and are suitable for most applications. Long trim brushes have a bristle length of 3 1/2", and are available for sanding parts that require a longer brush to reach deep recessed areas - and for applications requiring a softer touch. The long trim brushes increase the diameter of the wheel by 4"; therefore, the speed of the wheel should be reduced to take advantage of the softer brushes.
