- All mops have tapered centre bores, and may be mounted on the left or right of your grinder using a tapered buffing spindle.
- Select the correct mop for the job - a stitched mop for cutting back or general purpose work, or a loose leaf calico mop for high gloss polishing - avoid using different compounds on one mop, keep a separate mop for each compound and label it clearly.
- Dress the mop with compound across the rotating face for a few seconds taking care not to “overload” the mop - it is far better to apply a little compound more frequently than to over dress the mop.
- After applying the compound, bring the workpiece to the wheel and with light pressure move back and forth across the job.
- After the job is finished to your satisfaction, remove any compound residue with mineral turpentine or methylated spirits.

The Brumby 12mm Tapered Spindle Left Hand are used for fitting buffs and wheels to bench grinders as well as sanders and polishers. Step 1: Remove outer guard, grinding wheel and inner guard from the side of the machine that the tapered spindle is to be fitted. NOTE: With the correct thread, the tapered spindle can fit to either the left or right hand side of the machine. Step 2: Screw on the tapered spindle. NOTE: the internal thread of the spindle is counterbored to allow the spindle to cover the entire grinder shaft length.
