The picture is showing the back of the grinder. <br /><br />Good to know about the hard felt buff vs the soft wheel. I was taught by someone to use the softer one on things like carving tools that get rounded a bit anyway, but I'm always open to learning something new.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289004672943813238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612719956383621195.post-82991532702309357832010-09-22T18:09:52.135-04:002010-09-22T18:09:52.135-04:00Hi James,

Use a "rockhard" felt buff for your chisels and plane irons, and save the soft flappy ones for polishing rounded surfaces, like brass hinge barrels. You can even make a nice polishing lap by sticking a piece of hard natural leather on a cheap faceplate and mounting it Dana Grundhttp://www.grund.canoreply@blogger.com
