Tork Craft Red Medium-Cut General-Purpose Buffing Compound Bar 0.9kg

At a Glance: Red medium-cut buffing compound formulated for polishing brass, copper and silver with stitched or sisal buffing wheels.

The Tork Craft RCC 20-AB Red Buffing Compound is a versatile medium-cut polishing bar developed for restoring and refining brass, copper and silver surfaces. Its abrasive formulation helps reduce oxidation, dullness, light scratches and other surface imperfections while preparing the metal for a cleaner and more professional finish. The solid compound uses a wax-based binder that allows the polishing material to transfer conveniently onto a rotating buffing wheel. Suitable for automotive, jewellery, construction, manufacturing and general DIY applications, it is an excellent choice for workshop restoration, decorative metal finishing and routine maintenance work.

Balanced cutting action for non-ferrous metal restoration

RCC 20-AB provides a useful balance between material removal and surface refinement. Its medium cutting action is suited to brass, copper and silver components that require more correction than a fine finishing compound can provide, while still helping prepare the surface for a smooth and attractive polished appearance.

Extra Information

  • This red compound provides medium cutting action for brass, copper and silver.
  • Use with a suitable stitched buff or sisal buffing wheel.
  • Clean the workpiece before polishing to prevent dirt or debris from contaminating the buffing wheel.
  • Apply the compound sparingly, as excessive compound can build up on the wheel and generate unnecessary heat.
  • A finer finishing compound may be used after RCC 20-AB when a higher-gloss final finish is required.
  • Store the compound in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location away from ignition sources.
  • 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 red compound to avoid contamination from other abrasive grades.
  • Apply only a light coating of compound to the wheel; overloading can reduce polishing efficiency.
  • Move the workpiece continuously across the buff to prevent heat from concentrating in one area.
  • Begin with light pressure and allow the compound and buffing wheel to perform the cutting action.
  • For heavily oxidised surfaces, clean or sand the workpiece appropriately before buffing.
  • Use a softer buff and suitable finishing compound after the medium-cut stage when a brighter final shine is required.
  • Remove compound residue from the finished surface with a clean, soft microfibre cloth.
  • Test the compound on a small area before polishing plated, thin or delicate components.

How to Use

  • Inspect the polishing machine, buffing wheel and workpiece before starting.
  • Clean the metal surface to remove dirt, grease 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 wheel and apply light, controlled pressure.
  • Move the workpiece continuously across the buff to reduce heat build-up and create an even finish.
  • 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 wipe the polished surface with a clean cloth.

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.
