Chestnut Cut ‘N’ Polish Woodturners Abrasive Paste 225ml Tin

Cut’n’Polish is a blend of two waxes with a fine abrasive held in suspension within them.

This is a soft wax designed to stay ‘wet’ slightly longer during application, allowing it to lubricate the abrasive to give a very fine cut to the timber and also to collect any dust generated during use and some subsequent sanding, preventing it from entering the workshop atmosphere.

On bare wood; sand to 240 grit as normal, apply a coat of Cut’n’Polish with the lathe stopped, then switch on the lathe and buff to a soft sheen whilst smoothing the timber at the same time.
On sealed wood apply after the sealer in the same way, polishing to a slightly higher shine.

Cut’n’Polish dries almost immediately and can be overcoated with Friction Polish or any of our waxes for a higher shine.
