Tork Craft White Cutting Compound Bar for Stainless Steel 0.9kg
At a Glance: White solid cutting compound formulated for restoring and preparing stainless steel with stitched or sisal buffing wheels.
The Tork Craft RCC SW-3 White Cutting Compound is a solid abrasive polishing bar developed specifically for cutting, restoring and preparing stainless steel surfaces. Its abrasive formulation helps reduce oxidation, dullness, fine scratches and other surface imperfections while producing a cleaner and more uniform surface for further polishing. A wax-based binder holds the compound ingredients together and allows the material to transfer conveniently onto a rotating buffing wheel. Suitable for automotive, construction, manufacturing, fabrication and general DIY applications, RCC SW-3 is an excellent choice for restoring stainless steel components and preparing them for a finer finishing stage.
RCC SW-3 is intended for the corrective cutting stage of stainless steel polishing. Used with a suitable stitched or sisal buffing wheel, it helps reduce light surface damage, oxidation and dullness before a finer finishing compound is applied where a brighter or more refined final appearance is required.
Product highlights
- Stainless steel formulation: Developed specifically for cutting and restoring stainless steel surfaces.
- Effective cutting action: Helps reduce oxidation, dullness, fine scratches and light surface imperfections.
- White compound identification: Makes RCC SW-3 easy to recognise within the Tork Craft compound range.
- Solid bar format: Supports controlled application directly onto a rotating buffing wheel.
- Wax-based binder: Allows the abrasive material to transfer efficiently onto the buff.
- Surface preparation: Helps produce a cleaner and more consistent base before final polishing.
- Industrial-grade range: Suitable for workshop, fabrication, manufacturing and restoration applications.
Features
- Abrasive cutting formulation: Helps correct and prepare stainless steel surfaces before finer finishing operations.
- Dedicated stainless steel use: Formulated for stainless steel components, fittings and fabricated surfaces.
- Solid polishing bar: Can be applied directly to a rotating buffing wheel.
- Wax binder: Holds the abrasive ingredients together and promotes controlled transfer onto the buff.
- Buffing wheel compatibility: Recommended for use with stitched or sisal buffing wheels.
- Surface restoration: Suitable for reducing dullness, oxidation, fine scratches and polishing marks.
- Professional preparation: Creates a more uniform stainless steel surface before applying a finishing compound where required.
Benefits
- Restores dull stainless steel: Helps improve the appearance of oxidised, weathered or lightly marked components.
- Reduces surface imperfections: The cutting action assists with levelling fine scratches and minor irregularities.
- Prepares metal for final polishing: Creates a cleaner and more consistent foundation for the finishing stage.
- Controlled application: The solid bar makes it easy to apply a small amount directly to the buffing wheel.
- Versatile workshop use: Suitable for stainless steel fittings, trim, fabricated parts, tools and decorative components.
- Efficient compound transfer: The wax binder helps load the abrasive material conveniently onto the buff.

Extra Information
- This white compound is formulated specifically for cutting stainless steel.
- Use with a suitable stitched buff or sisal buffing wheel.
- Clean the workpiece before polishing to prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the buffing wheel.
- A finer finishing compound may be used after RCC SW-3 when a brighter or more refined final finish is required.
- Apply the compound sparingly because excessive compound may build up on the wheel and generate unnecessary heat.
- Store the compound in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition.
- Keep the compound away from direct sunlight and high temperatures to help prevent degradation.
- Recommended Tork Craft accessory ranges include the TCBF_- Series, TC801_- Series and TC872_- Series.
Pro Tips
- Use a dedicated buffing wheel for the white cutting compound to prevent contamination from other compound grades.
- Apply only a light coating of compound to the wheel; overloading may reduce cutting efficiency and increase heat.
- Move the workpiece continuously across the buffing wheel to prevent localised heat build-up.
- Begin with light pressure and allow the compound and buffing wheel to perform the cutting action.
- Work progressively across the surface instead of concentrating on one area for too long.
- Clean heavily contaminated stainless steel before buffing for more consistent results.
- Change to a clean buffing wheel and suitable finishing compound when moving to the final polishing stage.
- Follow the existing grain direction when polishing brushed stainless steel surfaces.
How to Use
- Inspect the polishing machine, buffing wheel and stainless steel workpiece before starting.
- Clean the metal surface to remove grease, dirt and loose contamination.
- Select a suitable stitched or sisal buffing wheel for the required cutting action.
- Secure the buffing wheel correctly and confirm that it is rated for the machine&s operating speed.
- Wear suitable eye, hearing, respiratory and hand protection before operating the equipment.
- Start the machine and allow the buffing wheel to reach its normal operating speed.
- Lightly press the compound bar against the rotating wheel for a brief moment to transfer a small amount.
- Present the workpiece carefully to the lower working section of the buffing wheel and apply light, controlled pressure.
- Move the workpiece continuously across the buff to create an even cut and reduce heat build-up.
- Reapply a small amount of compound only when the cutting action begins to decrease.
- Switch off the machine, allow the wheel to stop completely and inspect the prepared surface.
- Use a suitable finishing compound and clean buffing wheel when a finer final polish is required.
Safety
- Wear suitable eye, hearing, respiratory and hand protection during buffing and polishing operations.
- Always use the correct compound, buffing wheel and polishing machine for the material being worked.
- Do not ingest the compound and avoid unnecessary contact with the eyes, mouth and skin.
- Do not apply excessive compound to the buffing wheel, as this may contribute to heat build-up.
- Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and long hair away from the rotating buffing wheel.
- Confirm that the buffing wheel is securely fitted and rated for the machine&s operating speed.
- Hold small workpieces securely with a suitable fixture or gripping method where necessary.
- Do not use a damaged, loose or contaminated buffing wheel.
- Use light pressure and move the workpiece continuously to reduce the risk of overheating.
- Ensure adequate ventilation and keep the compound away from ignition sources.
- Store in a cool, dry and ventilated place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
- Follow all safety procedures supplied with the compound, buffing accessory and polishing machine.
