Edge Banding Machine Buffing Wheels 160x50x20mm Sisal Polishing Wheel for SCM Edgebanders

Need to replace a worn buffer on an SCM edgebander line? This is a 160 mm outer diameter, 50 mm bore, 20 mm thick sisal buffing wheel. The sisal face takes polishing compound across its full width, clears residual glue and the milled step left by the trimming cutters, then buffs PVC, ABS, melamine and veneer edges to a uniform gloss. One wheel per buffer spindle, no adapter. Check 160x50x20mm against the wheel you are taking off.

Every edgebander line ends with the same three things: a glue film the cutters leave behind, an edge that still feels sharp after milling, and a gloss that changes with whoever is on shift. Shops answer it by hand-buffing panels, by running wheels that glaze over, or by swapping half-worn wheels at random. All three push cost into rework.

This sisal polishing wheel is 160 mm outer diameter, 50 mm bore and 20 mm thick, and it mounts on the buffer station of an SCM edgebanding machine. Sisal fibre makes the buffing face; a plastic body holds the bore, so the 50 mm hole stays round on the spindle instead of collapsing under the clamp.

Sisal keeps compound on the outside of the fibre instead of soaking it in, which is what holds the cut even from the first panel of a shift to the last. The 20 mm face covers the band without tipping, and it takes the three defects trimming leaves: glue, the cutter shoulder and light scratches.

It runs on PVC, ABS, melamine and veneer edges as stage one of a two-stage finish, with a cotton wheel for gloss behind it. Check 160 mm across, 50 mm bore and 20 mm wide against your machine before ordering. Supplied from China; pricing is by quote.

What separates this wheel from a generic buffing disc is the size, the fibre and the bore.

• 160 x 50 x 20 mm, the buffer size SCM stations use. Three numbers, one wheel: 160 mm outer diameter, 50 mm bore, 20 mm width.
• Sisal face, plastic core. The buffing surface is sisal and the bore body is plastic, so the 50 mm hole holds its shape under clamp load.
• Compound stays on the face. Sisal holds polishing compound on the fibre surface, across the full 20 mm width, instead of loading the core.
• One wheel, four edge materials. PVC, ABS, melamine and wood veneer all finish on the same 160 mm face.
• Clears the three defects trimming leaves. Residual glue, the milled shoulder from the cutter and light band scratches come off in the buffing pass.
• No adapter, no bushing. The 50 mm bore matches the buffer spindle directly, so it is a single-part change rather than a stack of spacers.
• Stage one of a two-stage finish. Sisal cuts first; a cotton buffing wheel takes the gloss on the same spindle.
• Brush or air-blast cleaning. Compound lifts off the open sisal face between shifts, so the wheel is not dressed on a machine.

The usual choice is between a wheel that stops cutting halfway through a shift and a panel pulled off the line for hand buffing. Neither one keeps a batch even.

• The cut holds from panel one to panel two hundred. Sisal keeps compound on the outside of the fibre, so the 20 mm face does not glaze over the way a loaded disc does.
• Buy the size, not a modification. 160 x 50 x 20 mm bolts onto the buffer station, so fitting it is one wheel change, not a spindle adapter.
• Glue and gloss in one place. Residual glue, the cutter shoulder and the gloss are handled on the same 160 mm wheel, with no second station.
• Four edge materials, one shelf. PVC, ABS, melamine and veneer run on the same wheel, so spare-parts stock carries one size instead of four.
• Wear is visible, so replacement is planned. The sisal thins from 20 mm as it works; measure it at cleaning and order before it reaches the plastic core.
• A spare part from a spare-parts catalogue. Origin China, sized for SCM edgebanders, priced by quote - specified as a replacement item, which is what a running line needs.

Yes, if your buffer spindle takes a 160 mm wheel with a 50 mm bore. The wheel is 160 mm outer diameter, 50 mm inner diameter and 20 mm thick, and it is specified for SCM edgebanding machines. Measure the wheel you are removing before you order - the bore is the number that decides fit.

Take the three numbers off the old wheel: this one is 160 x 50 x 20 mm. Outer diameter 160 mm, bore 50 mm, width 20 mm. If your old wheel carries the same three numbers, this is a direct replacement.

Yes. Sisal is the abrasive stage of the buffing station, so residual glue and the milled shoulder left by the trimming cutters come off on the 20 mm face. Follow with a cotton wheel if you want a higher gloss.

They do different jobs, so most lines run both. Sisal cuts - it takes glue, the cutter step and light scratches off - while cotton buffs for gloss. Use sisal first, cotton second, on the same spindle.

PVC, ABS, melamine and wood veneer. Those are the four bands the wheel is listed for, and all four finish on the same 160 mm sisal face.

Slide it onto the buffer spindle. The 50 mm bore matches the spindle directly, so there is no adapter or bushing to fit, and the plastic bore body keeps the hole round once the wheel is clamped.

Clean it with a soft brush or an air blast. Compound builds up on the sisal face and the brush lifts it off; while you have the wheel off, measure the 20 mm width - once the sisal is worn down near the plastic core, replace it.

Send the machine model and the wheel size, and we quote per order. Price on this part is by quote rather than a list figure, because the wheel ships as a spare part alongside other edgebander items.
