Frequently Asked Questions
What are EVE Universal HP polishers used for?
Shaping and smoothing composites, ceramics, metals and acrylic.
What abrasive do they use?
Silicon carbide abrasive in a soft silicone bonding.
What does the soft silicone bonding do?
It adapts to the surface while it is being processed, so the wheel follows contours as you polish.
What is the recommended speed?
Around 7,000 to 10,000 RPM for optimal results, and never more than 20,000 RPM.
How many wheels are in a pack?
Each option comes in a pack of 100 wheels.
What is the difference between RUHP17M and RUHP26M?
RUHP17M (R22) is a straight-edge wheel, 22 x 3 mm. RUHP26M (L22) is a lens-shaped wheel, 22 x 4 mm.
Are the wheels mounted?
No. They are unmounted wheels with a center hole and are used on a mandrel.
What handpiece do I need?
A straight (lab) handpiece. An RA version is available for contra-angle use.
Can I use the same wheel on metal and ceramic?
The wheel is made for all four material groups, but clean it between materials so metal debris is not transferred to ceramic or acrylic.
Do these wheels give a final high gloss?
They are designed for shaping and smoothing. For the final high-gloss step, follow up with a dedicated polisher for the material.
