Ok, not a smart move on my end. I buffed an older, used, fret board after dressing the frets without CLEANING the fretboard and now my buffing wheel is black. gaah How would you clean the buffing wheel? PS. I think the brush is meant to clean off compound buildup. Clinton

An old hacksaw blade works pretty well. It shortens the life of the wheel, though.

I gotta agree with Tony. I even made a little slide-out buffer to use just for ebony fittings........very handy.

I agree with Tony and Dave.....but if I had a dirty buffing wheel I wanted clean I'd wash in a washing machine. I haven't done it, but I believe it would work.

Dang, this was a newer wheel. [headinwall] I guess I'll make it my "dirty wheel" and lesson learned. I bought this from Grizzly and really liked it. Any other suggestions for a supplier? Clinton
