Tork Craft Yellow Cutting Compound Bar for Copper, Aluminium, Brass and Steel 0.9kg
At a Glance: Yellow solid cutting compound formulated for copper, aluminium, brass and steel, suitable for use with stitched or sisal buffing wheels.
The Tork Craft RCC SW-2000 Yellow Cutting Compound is a solid abrasive polishing bar developed for correcting and preparing copper, aluminium, brass and steel surfaces. Its cutting formulation helps reduce oxidation, dullness, fine scratches and other surface imperfections while creating a cleaner and more uniform foundation for further polishing. A wax-based binder holds the abrasive ingredients together and allows the compound to transfer conveniently onto a rotating buffing wheel. Suitable for automotive, manufacturing, construction, fabrication and general DIY applications, this versatile compound is ideal for restoring metal components and preparing them for a finer finishing stage.
RCC SW-2000 is intended for the corrective stage of metal polishing, where light imperfections and surface deterioration must be reduced before final finishing. Used with a suitable stitched or sisal buffing wheel, it provides effective cutting action on copper, aluminium, brass and steel components.

Extra Information
- This yellow compound is intended for cutting copper, aluminium, brass and steel.
- Use with a suitable stitched buff or sisal buffing wheel.
- Clean the workpiece before polishing to prevent debris from contaminating the buffing wheel.
- A finer finishing compound may be used after RCC SW-2000 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 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 each compound grade to prevent contamination from finer or coarser abrasives.
- 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 rather than concentrating on one small area for too long.
- Clean heavily oxidised or contaminated surfaces before buffing for more consistent results.
- Change to a clean buffing wheel and suitable finishing compound when moving to the final polishing stage.
- Test the compound on a small area before polishing delicate, plated or highly visible components.
How to Use
- Inspect the polishing machine, buffing wheel and 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.
