John,

    Canton flannel buffs are available from: Woodcraft 1-800-225-1153, Tool
Crib 1-800-635-5140, Rockler 1-800-279-4441, Eagle America 1-800-872-2511,
The Garrett Wade Tool Co. 1-800-221-2942 and many hardware stores. Be sure
not to get a sewn wheel, get a loose sewn (1 or 2 stitches) and a loose
section (1 stitch at the arbor)  Spiral sewn and sisal buffs are much to
aggressive for keys but good for rough cutting metals. When ordering
compound, get a buffing compound not a cutting compound, and I've found that
the closer the color to the object your buffing the better. If your
interested in knowing, I use 1hp Baldor buffing machines @1750 rpm with 10
inch dia. wheels. Separate machines for plastic, ivory, ebony and metals.
Rake your wheels occasionally to keep them clean.

Thank you Michael.

Where are those Canton flannel buffers available from?

 

Lapidary supply stores carry a wide variety of "buffs," as well as compounds
for plastic.
