I was a metal worker. So I use grinders quite a lot. I've seen discs explode, (quite regularly) I've seen people catch loose clothing in them and the grinder has climbed up them and hit them square in the teeth. I've had it happen to me and luckily my tshirt jammed it up just below my neck. I've seen all kinds of accidents with them. Even a fine disc can chew flesh up VERY quickly. I just would never use a grinder without anything but 100% respect. As manufacturer intended. Edit: it's cool to read the working men of the world in agreement with regards to safety, because I know it comes from experience and respect for yourself, your trade and tools. Also, it's nice to have a shared experience and respect with people in the trade from round the globe. All the best from England.
When I was an apprentice, a disc exploded 40-50 cm from my face. To this day, I still don't know how I didn't get hit by a burst of shrapnel. I was wearing safety glasses, but it could easily have done some nasty damage. Stay safe out there, guys.
Used to use big air powered 7 inch grinders at work. They demand respect. Lots of power to grind through those weld. Had a tiger buffing pad we used on stainless to pretty up after grinding and to smooth the edges catch the very end corner and I was in a hurry and was stepping around the piece. Well that wheel wrapped up in my shirt and tore it shreds, barely left a mark on me though. A buffing wheel. Can't imagine what an actual grinding disk would have done to me. Yikes.
@phankeehone48 Those discs do just explode sometimes. It happens. The moron who said I sound dangerous and incompetent in reply to my comment obviously hasn't worked with grinders day in day out for years, because if he did, he'd know It can be an insignificant little thing that you catch the disc on and it just explodes. It's spinning that fast. Sure wakes you up. Also makes you realise why eye protection is so important.
Years ago a relative owned a vacuum cleaner shop and he had a huge buffer that was used to polish up the aluminum castings on machines he rebuilt and sold. He had several Baldor buffer motors set up with several types of pads, one looked to be just a thick piece of corrugated cardboard but it didn't spin nearly as fast as an angle grinder. I have four angle grinders, the fastest one says its spins at 16,000 rpm, the slowest is marked 10,500 rpm. A buffer motor only spins at around 1,800 rpm or so. Mine spins an 8" cotton rag wheel on one side and a composite disk on the other. I could see the homemade cardboard working on a buffer but those type of discs are cheap and likely not worth the trouble to make unless your time is of no value.
I don't know which is more time consuming - reading the hilarious comments or watching the hilarious video. I applaud the poster for making money on this content. Cool.

Matches or a cigarette lighter is a positive start!
I've been a metal fabricator for almost 35 years and a trick I was shown years ago was basically the same thing only on a bench grinder using the grinder with the guard reversed for reverse rotation and buffing compound for sharpening knives. It works great.
I bought this super expensive very well known and recommend knife sharpening wheel for my grinder. I’m almost 99.9% sure all it is is cardboard lol. It’s the best method inhave found for sharpening blades in a hurry tho so I don’t guess I’m complaining. It was disappointing paying the price. And when I got it I thought. “wtf. Is this cardboard”.
Yeah but why waste time and some loose change on buying the proper thing when you can spend hours on a project that barely works and get mediocre results?
У меня похожая штука в работе еще с советских времен. Только диски сделаны из лосиной кожи толщиной ~4 мм (были тогда такие магазины "Сделай сам", купил там обрезки) , 6 штук в стопочке и зажаты между двух кружков из фанеры. Схвачены на гайку болтом М10, сточенным у хвоста на трехгранную фаску под губки патрона дрели. Намазываю её зеленой пастой ГОИ. Работает, как Золушка уже 4й десяток лет.

@@michaelarmbruster586 I'm no safety inspector, but there's a lot of just plain dumb stuff people do on the internet. It's my experience that when we hurt ourselves, we are usually doing something stupid. Sometimes that's only clear in hindsight of course!
Fine grade wire wool for the iron works a treat and a lot less hassle. I've used autosol and wire wool for years for many metal polishing jobs, doesn't take long either. Even used tin foil on to on some jobs. As for the knife, I wouldn't use this particular idea. An old leather belt with the same compound is great to strop with👍🏻. I can see theis wheel useful for de rusting large pieces though.
Wire wool attachment for angle grinder works awesome, but only on certain jobs. Wire wool cannot hone a knife edge, while this or any mdf buffing wheel can.
Polishing takes off material so keep that in mind if you're going to try this. Look closely and you'll see its not completely flat. They also sell polishing wheel which i would trust a bit more. Cool video though
And wear safety gear for your face, neck & eyes. When that short-fibered paper has had to much flexing it will explode. But maybe it will wear down before it gets to that point. Roll the dice and find out…
This is called a rotary polisher. Usually it operates at a slower RPM and uses a type of fabric to hold the polishing medium with a more durable base. There have been higher RPM polishing tools using a similar type of corrugated paper as well, however usually not quite as high RPM as an angle grinder. It can be overly abrasive at the angle grinder speeds. Of course this depends on purpose. You'll find that it is very easy to ruin the symmetrical edge of a blade sharpening it with this method. However, this method could be useful to remove surface rust in a heavily degraded blade.
@@drunkrtard, if you know how to sharpen a knife and can get the proper and correct angle, then yes. How the hell do you think J. A. Henkles, Gerber, and Kabar puts that laser-polished look and razor sharp edge on all their knives???
I've been looking high and low for a way to polish the bottom of my 21 year old iron and stumbled upon this video. Oh happy day! What a time to be alive.
For those who think this is a great idea, first try using a 4000 rpm grinder rated pad on a 8000 rated grinder . Make sue you had full PE before trying this, then come back and find out why this is not patented
Do not try this on a 10000 RPM grinder!!!!!! Any piece of cardboard turning at 3.5 KM per second can be lethal! I had a 10000 rated disc in an air grinder that was turning 120000 RPM and it blew up, one piece took a chunk out of my leg, never found any other bits of the disc ever, that happened over 30 years ago.
It's rare you get to hear about something no other human has thought of and it's even more rare to witness it. Behold the only recorded moment in all of this great universe's history of an iron being polished.
"There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope.

Yep one buggered up iron with blocked steam holes. However cardboard was a great item in my military kit, used it with brass cleaning fluid to polish brass belt buckles etc, very effective (but strangely only needed hands to do it!)
I'm confused, I mean believe your statement, I'm not arguing anything whatsoever. The part I'm confused with is when you say you "only needed hands to do it...' So like, what other parts were you using to "polish people's brass"...? I'm guessing not feet.
@@bigduphusaj162 He meant that all too often you wind up using your fingers/hands polishing detail brass. It's pointless to try to use something else when you wind up getting it all on your hands any way.
As long as you don’t get the grinder going into the edge it should be fine the other way and it will probably grab that knife. Seen a polishing wheel grab a knife and take off someone’s fingers as it brought it around so fast he did not have time to react.
This must be just the 1st episode of the series of 2 videos. The 2nd episode tells you how you wear yourself into a bulletproof protection equipment, to not get yourself damaged when that piece of cardboard start flying astronomical speeds. The 3rd optional extra episode could tell how you protect the room around you to not get damaged by those same fragments of cardboard.
I myself have used multiple sizes of grinders on almost a daily basis for twenty plus years. I have learned the larger sizes like 10" are far less dangerous due to the fact that they demand the respect of your attention to safety. The smaller 4.5" or 5" grinders seem to give a disbelief that they somehow aren't as dangerous...this is the exact opposite of what really is, I have been injured more times and in fact damn near lost a thumb because of it. The smaller the more deadly in my personal opinion. These things are not to be taken as anything but deadly or at the very least extremely dangerous to handle. That being said, I have come to believe that the cordless versions of these are substantially safer when doing something questionable because most have a clutch which I've never seen on a hardwired grinder. Just my biased opinion of course.
Thanks, I actually just asked my fiancé if there was a safer grinder out there somewhere because we have an unspoken, unofficial rule that I do not use the grinder because of safety reasons. So I use my dremel. But sometimes that is obviously much less effecient!
If you tried using one left-handed you would pump up your biased opinion, for sure. Cordless are nice because you're not off-balance with a cord or having one to step on and create pull. I got a quarter-inch grinder to the bone on my big finger, unable to play guitar for over six months.
I love 'Thinking outside of the Box' & diy ideas.. I can't help but believe this will deteriorate quickly. Super quick if it gets wet. This being said, his results were nice. Saving older, damaged foam pads is my go-to for junk work.
I agree. It is a cute and novel idea, but in no way did he re-invent the polishing wheel. If anything it gives you some clues on how it is built. But the artist who demonstrated this didn't use nearly enough binder if you want to keep cardboard at that RPM speed in 1 piece. I can easily picture some kid trying this and losing an eye.
Nice video, I enjoyed it and gave it a thumbs up, Its not patented because it is dangerous, and when it eventually reaches the glue parts on the spindle it will be more abrasive than anything or glue bits will go flying. Angle grinder needs to have lots of respect and eye safety, I'm a normal person that uses an angle grinder a few times a year, already have had a sanding disc dettach itself from velcro holder and fly straight to just below my eye and also while cutting a cupboard in half in a difficult to reach spot the grinder crawled out of my hand with a wood / aluminium cutting blade and crawled right into my finger fortunately i pulled away from it, it left a deep gash. Angle Grinder Respect +1000
Dangerous yes "because of the glue"?. Absurd nonsense. It's an angle grinder which are inherently dangerous, that's why it's dangerous. It's not patented because companies don't want buffing wheels to fit an angle grinder that is why they sell you a bench sander. Similarly, you cannot buy wood cutting blades for angle grinders. They want to sell you a circular saw or multi tool instead
@@itechhenThe Chinese shop where I stay actually sells an angle grinder blade for cutting wood/aluminium. It makes a awesomely clean cut in wood and very fast and smoothly with very little dust. Dangerous little thing it is!
BRILLIANT!!!! No one knows when the stores will be unavailable to purchase a buffing wheel.....just saying, learning to make one from cardboard is a very USEFUL idea, thank you very much for sharing it....:-}
I've only used this once to sharpen my mower blade th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 but so far very happy with it. I've never used one of these so took me a bit to figure out how to set it up but once I figured it out it did the job just fine. This is likely a single purpose tool for me to use on my mower blade and possibly the occasional axe sharpening so didn't see any need to spend a lot....this will do just fine!
Time is money how long did it take to make and wait for glue to dry. If you are going to spend the money on polishing compound for just a few dollars more buy a buffing wheel. Harbor Freight has a kit with 3 different compounds for under $20

I've been sharpening knives and tools for 30 years and I've used a bench grinder version of that cardboard wheel for about 20. It's great for polishing the Bevel after sanding to remove the scratches on collector knives, but it's not a very durable edge.
@@Knight_Astolfo , ha ha indeed, lack of clarity enhance the hilarity. Sharpening knives it is all about the blade edge obviously, lol... Thanks for playing the adult in the room.
I have probably polished over a hundred irons in my life. Who hasn’t? But I never thought to fashion a buff wheel out of cardboard using actual grind wheels as templates. This is a true testament to engineering. I can’t believe I have been polishing my irons with barkeepers friends and an old t shirt wasting minutes when I could have had it done in less minutes with cardboard board. That is after the six hours of cutting sculpting and smoothing cardboard. I’ll give this a try as I’m sure another iron is bound to need polishing in the very near future.
*Congratulations, you've invented the polishing wheel.* _Luckily I can buy one for a couple bucks and don't have to spend two hours making one from scratch._
Well, if you watch close you will see that he used a buffing wheel instead of the card board. Card board wouldn't have lasted 1-3 seconds with that rpms. I build smaller cardboard for Dremel and drills where rpm is control able.

if cardboard was a suitable material to make polishing wheels, they'd be on the shelf friend. Felt is dirt cheap. the Denim or whatever they use on airway buffs are super cheap. they're just starched to be harder and rigid. This man is out here re-inventing the wheel when we're using flying cars. Also the only reason the cardbaord did ANYTHING AT ALL is simply because the blue buffing compound he used, is an abrasive. Virgin cardboard would acheive legit nothing

I would use it in a situation where nothing commercial was available, and I had to get a bike show ready or finish a bike for a customer. Great idea! Thanks for the hack! 👍
Definitely works much better if you crush the cardboard to make it more dense. Also seen it work with plywood, particle board, heavy cloth, heavy paper, or anything porous and strong enough. Be very careful if it catches it can explode.
@@bobs8005 these people are off their heads, even a smaller 7ah Makita will destroy any bodged attachment almost instantly.

Jeez even wire brush attachments don't last long at all on proper grinders
What most people dont realize, the cardboard in this video is just a media to hold the BLUE BUFFING COMPOUND he is using. The cardboard isn't doing anything but acting similar to a soft felt buffing wheel, the compound is engineered to be abrasive to metal for polishing. So its like me using rubbing compound by hand to remove a scratch. the buffing pad or microfiber cloth isn't really doing the work (some pads are aggressive and do cut, but primarily its the compound) So TLDR, if he did this with just cardboard and no compound, it wouldn't even touch the dirt on the metal tbh (Polishing metal is one of my jobs at my shop. we Polish aluminum and use those compound sticks and airway buffs on grinders to make aluminum look like chrome)
Years ago (about 30 years ago) I watched a demonstration with a man sharpening different types of blades using a bench grinder that had a cardboard buffing wheel and rouge. Never saw it again. Seemed to work great.
You can sharpen a knife on a stone or diamond lap then strop it on a large cardboard box or cardboard cob. It doesn't take long when you have a 6 foot strop. No power tools needed.
Bench grinder won't grab as much as a handheld grinder and run slower so bodge wheels as long as you've got your face and hand equipment on. Handheld grinders like the common smaller Makita you get the 3ah version and a 7ah, yeah don't be trying ant bodge wheels on they little 7ah things that hit 12-14k rpm, they can kick back bad they ones and even hurt your wrist and break free from a tight grip. The big grinders you'd need to be off your nugget to even dare try this. They would make an instant fool of you with the huge amounts of torque
This an excellent idea! I use those fluffy polish wheels in jewelry work and they can get a bit pricey to keep replacing!!! Do u have a recipe to make the polish/rouge, that stuff is really expensive to keep buying?????

As long as a hospital is next door. Those grinders spin ridiculously fast. I'm all about ingenuity but safety is first ALWAYS! It's harder to do any work when you have a chunk of that grinding wheel stuck in your face because the cardboard failed, which it will, allowing play in the grinder disc, then it snaps and launches at you.

Yeah the guy just re-invented the polishing wheel, but i think it was more just a neat demonstration how well carboard actually works. Im curious if the layers of glue affected anything.
Part of the reason they're effective polishing discs is that we coat the cardboard with an extremely fine silica product. It keeps boxes from sliding off each other in the shelf or pallet. It makes for a very high number grit polishing surface when used like this. You're welcome.
@@jankoodziej877 Actually, not only that. What he says is true. I watched Thomas Johnson, a fine furniture restorer use brown craft paper as the final sanding material for a 19th century writing slope. Paper is often sized with glue and fine mineral dust to provide strength and stability. So, it is slightly abrasive. You can rub up delicate brass ware with a brown paper bag. It won't handle heavy oxidation, but a little grimyness, it can work.
I like the creativity, and I always have wayyy too many cardboard boxes from deliveries! I wonder if it might be better to only glue near the center, so the hardened glue doesn't make areas that are more abrasive than others 🤔
Or you could just you know.. buy a polishing wheel? That's better in every single possible way. If you put any kind of pressure on that cardboard it will shear off and fly across the room with some force Do not do this, ever.
@@aaronst542 cardboard and paper are quite abrasive. Wood fibers are tough and also contain tiny particles of silicates that are very hard and abrasive, in addition to abrasive dirt and debris that the box material picks up in its life from production to the big recycling bin in the sky. Ever break down a bunch of cardboard boxes with a knife? It gets dull very quickly. In fact, many of the fancy super steels we drool over in high end pocket knives were developed for industrial slitting blades. When you are slicing miles and miles of cardboard, paper, carpet, etc, during a shift, factors like edge retention and wear resistance are paramount to minimize downtime spent resharpening and replacing the slitting blades.

I have four angle grinders, the fastest one says its spins at 16,000 rpm, the slowest is marked 10,500 rpm. A buffer motor only spins at around 1,800 rpm or so. Mine spins an 8" cotton rag wheel on one side and a composite disk on the other.

I've been a metal fabricator for almost 35 years and a trick I was shown years ago was basically the same thing only on a bench grinder using the grinder with the guard reversed for reverse rotation and buffing compound for sharpening knives. It works great.
I bought this super expensive very well known and recommend knife sharpening wheel for my grinder. I’m almost 99.9% sure all it is is cardboard lol. It’s the best method inhave found for sharpening blades in a hurry tho so I don’t guess I’m complaining. It was disappointing paying the price. And when I got it I thought. “wtf. Is this cardboard”.

@@michaelarmbruster586 I'm no safety inspector, but there's a lot of just plain dumb stuff people do on the internet. It's my experience that when we hurt ourselves, we are usually doing something stupid. Sometimes that's only clear in hindsight of course!
Fine grade wire wool for the iron works a treat and a lot less hassle. I've used autosol and wire wool for years for many metal polishing jobs, doesn't take long either. Even used tin foil on to on some jobs. As for the knife, I wouldn't use this particular idea. An old leather belt with the same compound is great to strop with👍🏻. I can see theis wheel useful for de rusting large pieces though.
Wire wool attachment for angle grinder works awesome, but only on certain jobs. Wire wool cannot hone a knife edge, while this or any mdf buffing wheel can.
Polishing takes off material so keep that in mind if you're going to try this. Look closely and you'll see its not completely flat. They also sell polishing wheel which i would trust a bit more. Cool video though
And wear safety gear for your face, neck & eyes. When that short-fibered paper has had to much flexing it will explode. But maybe it will wear down before it gets to that point. Roll the dice and find out…

This is called a rotary polisher. Usually it operates at a slower RPM and uses a type of fabric to hold the polishing medium with a more durable base. There have been higher RPM polishing tools using a similar type of corrugated paper as well, however usually not quite as high RPM as an angle grinder. It can be overly abrasive at the angle grinder speeds. Of course this depends on purpose.
You'll find that it is very easy to ruin the symmetrical edge of a blade sharpening it with this method. However, this method could be useful to remove surface rust in a heavily degraded blade.

I myself have used multiple sizes of grinders on almost a daily basis for twenty plus years. I have learned the larger sizes like 10" are far less dangerous due to the fact that they demand the respect of your attention to safety. The smaller 4.5" or 5" grinders seem to give a disbelief that they somehow aren't as dangerous...this is the exact opposite of what really is, I have been injured more times and in fact damn near lost a thumb because of it. The smaller the more deadly in my personal opinion. These things are not to be taken as anything but deadly or at the very least extremely dangerous to handle. That being said, I have come to believe that the cordless versions of these are substantially safer when doing something questionable because most have a clutch which I've never seen on a hardwired grinder. Just my biased opinion of course.
Thanks, I actually just asked my fiancé if there was a safer grinder out there somewhere because we have an unspoken, unofficial rule that I do not use the grinder because of safety reasons. So I use my dremel. But sometimes that is obviously much less effecient!
If you tried using one left-handed you would pump up your biased opinion, for sure.
Cordless are nice because you're not off-balance with a cord or having one to step on and create pull.

Angle Grinder Respect +1000
Dangerous yes "because of the glue"?. Absurd nonsense. It's an angle grinder which are inherently dangerous, that's why it's dangerous. It's not patented because companies don't want buffing wheels to fit an angle grinder that is why they sell you a bench sander. Similarly, you cannot buy wood cutting blades for angle grinders. They want to sell you a circular saw or multi tool instead

What most people dont realize, the cardboard in this video is just a media to hold the BLUE BUFFING COMPOUND he is using. The cardboard isn't doing anything but acting similar to a soft felt buffing wheel, the compound is engineered to be abrasive to metal for polishing.
So its like me using rubbing compound by hand to remove a scratch. the buffing pad or microfiber cloth isn't really doing the work (some pads are aggressive and do cut, but primarily its the compound)
So TLDR, if he did this with just cardboard and no compound, it wouldn't even touch the dirt on the metal tbh
(Polishing metal is one of my jobs at my shop. we Polish aluminum and use those compound sticks and airway buffs on grinders to make aluminum look like chrome)

Same here, hahahah!
Holy crap that was a lot of work to make a disk that is surely available at the store for a few dollars.
And that won't explode from the high RPMs.
They are 3x as much now
It's called free. And clearly it worked so seethe more

Years ago (about 30 years ago) I watched a demonstration with a man sharpening different types of blades using a bench grinder that had a cardboard buffing wheel and rouge. Never saw it again. Seemed to work great.
You can sharpen a knife on a stone or diamond lap then strop it on a large cardboard box or cardboard cob. It doesn't take long when you have a 6 foot strop. No power tools needed.
Bench grinder won't grab as much as a handheld grinder and run slower so bodge wheels as long as you've got your face and hand equipment on. Handheld grinders like the common smaller Makita you get the 3ah version and a 7ah, yeah don't be trying ant bodge wheels on they little 7ah things that hit 12-14k rpm, they can kick back bad they ones and even hurt your wrist and break free from a tight grip. The big grinders you'd need to be off your nugget to even dare try this. They would make an instant fool of you with the huge amounts of torque
works great for removing nail polish from toes and fingers too!
Not so good if you want to reapply in the future though.
Also the nails themselves. I'll wager.
This "problem" has been solved for decades. It's called a polishing wheel.
This an excellent idea! I use those fluffy polish wheels in jewelry work and they can get a bit pricey to keep replacing!!! Do u have a recipe to make the polish/rouge, that stuff is really expensive to keep buying?????

Зеркального блеска на утюге я не увидел, но грубую очистить произвести удалось. Не думаю, что картон, даже если порвётся, то причинит очень тяжёлые травмы, но всё-же войлок обрабатывает аккуратнее. Можно даже для этого использовать остатки паласов и различных ковровых покрытий - также из них круги вырезать и позировать различные металлы до зеркального блеска.
Мне кажется это монтаж, а за кадром всё делалось чем-то другим. Картон разлетится просто, он не будет таким прочным. Можете сами проверить на своей болгарке)

It worked but i had gas can of dirt an water when caught fire but works dont hold down grinders trigger soon as you start tap trigger 25xs then wait takes longer but not having to spend any currants is a plus🎉
Ok thanks.
Next time I want my iron or my wrench to be shiny I’ll remember to do this.
it can be lethal if the board tears
or at least cause serious injury
@@badjaeaux At least the cut will be clean, eh?
You don't care if the surface of your iron is smooth? I'd like to see your clothes. ...On second thought, I changed my mind.
This (similar) has been invented. As a teen in the mid 70s I worked at a golf course. We used a card board paper wheel (cardboard boxes are corrugated paper) to polish irons to look new again.
Seems to me that it would be difficult to hit a golf ball with an iron. Do you swing it by the cord or what?
@@vladtheimpala5532 No.. you kind of whip it! 😆
@@Imagezone61
😀 Whip it good.
@@vladtheimpala5532 Now's the time.
I say give it 3 or 4 good vertical revolutions by the cord then lower it down to whack the ball. Don't forget to yell 'fore' in case the cord breaks and for christsakes keep your ankles back!
Should try the cut band out of an aluminum foil box as a band saw blade.. it's fun!
One of many amusing comments about this imbecilic video.
lol are they even metal anymore.
Wow. Really made that harder than it should’ve been. Glue all the cardboard together, lay something heavy on it, THEN cut out circles all at once. Done.
Happy to finally find a comment that is critiquing what he did WITHOUT attacking the product directly, just the process
When all you got to work with is all you got then every little bit of anything is a blessing/chance for survival/prosperity. Much appreciation for this helpful tip.

As long as a hospital is next door. Those grinders spin ridiculously fast. I'm all about ingenuity but safety is first ALWAYS! It's harder to do any work when you have a chunk of that grinding wheel stuck in your face because the cardboard failed, which it will, allowing play in the grinder disc, then it snaps and launches at you.
@@slippinslidewayz Fair call. After having many 1mm thick 125mm diameter stainless steel cutoff wheels shatter on me with the grinder cutting guard removed.....I will always choose the risk of high velocity cardboard paper shrapnel any day. Always wear safety glasses/safety shield when using any circular blade tool and always have your face off centred to the cutting blade......The rest is Luck to if the shrapnel hits your face, throat or arteries
I will make this out of the amazon box that the polishing wheel was delivered in.
brill, then you can send the wheel back for a refund
Yeah the guy just re-invented the polishing wheel, but i think it was more just a neat demonstration how well carboard actually works. Im curious if the layers of glue affected anything.
OH!!! Huzzah! Thank you! restoring a vintage honda CB350 and my budget needed this.
Finally I've learned how to polish my steam iron. Been scratchin' my head over that challenge for weeks.

Part of the reason they're effective polishing discs is that we coat the cardboard with an extremely fine silica product. It keeps boxes from sliding off each other in the shelf or pallet. It makes for a very high number grit polishing surface when used like this. You're welcome.
And breathing "Fine silica" will get you Silicosis, which will kill you. I'll stick with polishing wheel.
Cool I had no idea
You’re Welcome?! Lol don’t flatter yourself….
No, it's the polishing paste he put on it...
@@jankoodziej877 Actually, not only that. What he says is true. I watched Thomas Johnson, a fine furniture restorer use brown craft paper as the final sanding material for a 19th century writing slope. Paper is often sized with glue and fine mineral dust to provide strength and stability. So, it is slightly abrasive. You can rub up delicate brass ware with a brown paper bag. It won't handle heavy oxidation, but a little grimyness, it can work.
That seems like a lot of work to have a wheel that does the same thing as one you can buy at any hardware store.

@@kadmow you are so right.
Hey, that's a buffing wheel, except , a lot more work.
I like the creativity, and I always have wayyy too many cardboard boxes from deliveries!
I wonder if it might be better to only glue near the center, so the hardened glue doesn't make areas that are more abrasive than others 🤔
Or you could just you know.. buy a polishing wheel? That's better in every single possible way.
If you put any kind of pressure on that cardboard it will shear off and fly across the room with some force
Do not do this, ever.
@@Katster thank you, Mommy
@@aaronst542 cardboard and paper are quite abrasive. Wood fibers are tough and also contain tiny particles of silicates that are very hard and abrasive, in addition to abrasive dirt and debris that the box material picks up in its life from production to the big recycling bin in the sky. Ever break down a bunch of cardboard boxes with a knife? It gets dull very quickly. In fact, many of the fancy super steels we drool over in high end pocket knives were developed for industrial slitting blades. When you are slicing miles and miles of cardboard, paper, carpet, etc, during a shift, factors like edge retention and wear resistance are paramount to minimize downtime spent resharpening and replacing the slitting blades.
