Professional Glass Finishes with the Right Polishing Wheels
Finding the perfect polishing wheel can transform your glass fabrication results.
At Matodi, we offer North America’s largest selection of glass polishing wheels, designed to deliver outstanding finishes for every application.
Whether you’re running modern CNC equipment or trusted older machines, our polishing wheels help you create glass products that truly stand out.
Understanding What Makes Great Glass Polishing
Quality glass polishing involves more than just smoothing rough edges. It’s about finding the right balance of pressure, speed, and wheel material for your specific needs.
Our team has spent decades perfecting polishing wheel formulas that deliver consistent, reliable results. From basic edge work to mirror-like finishes, each wheel in our lineup serves an important purpose.
The difference between good and great glass finishing comes down to matching the right wheel to your glass type.
Factors like heat control, grit patterns, and bonding strength all play a role in achieving that perfect polish that sets professional work apart from average results.
Cup Wheels: Longer Life Through Smart Design
Our cup polishing wheels bring real improvements to straight-line edging and beveling operations:
- A larger contact surface significantly extends wheel life.
- Even pressure design creates consistent, smooth edges.
- Built-in cooling features prevent heat damage to glass.
- Easy mounting works with your existing equipment.
Here’s what makes our cup wheels special: Our cerium-impregnated models deliver the same high-quality finish as felt wheels—without the mess of cerium slurry.
This means less prep time, easier cleanup, and crystal-clear edges that meet strict quality standards.
Peripheral Wheels: Made for Curves and Complex Shapes
When polishing curved glass or complex shapes with CNC machines, you need wheels that maintain steady contact.
Our peripheral polish wheels handle these challenging jobs through smart engineering:
- Pre-shaped options cut break-in time from hours to minutes.
- Precision-balanced wheels eliminate vibration at high speeds.
- Multiple grit levels finish glass in one smooth pass.
- A compatible design works with all major machine brands.
These wheels turn difficult polishing jobs into predictable, repeatable processes. Our special bonding method ensures even wear, preventing those frustrating worn spots that can ruin your finish consistency.
Felt Wheel Technology: Classic Methods Meet Modern Materials
Felt polishing has been trusted for generations because it works. We’ve taken this proven approach and enhanced it with today’s best materials.
Synthetic Solid Felt Wheels
When you need the highest quality polish possible, our synthetic solid felt wheels deliver mirror finishes that exceed expectations.
These wheels combine time-tested felt polishing with modern materials:
- Uniform density throughout the entire wheel
- Better cerium holding for longer polishing runs
- Less heat buildup during high-speed operation
- Consistent results from first use to replacement
Our synthetic material fixes the common problems found in natural felt while keeping that gentle polishing action that glass needs. Users report getting optical-quality finishes much faster than traditional methods.
Spiral Wound Felt Wheels
For operations where durability matters as much as finish quality, our spiral wound felt wheels offer the ideal solution.
Their unique construction creates wheels that handle tough production demands:
- Layered design prevents uneven wear patterns.
- Flexible construction adapts to glass contours.
- Offers a Longer service life than standard solid felt.
- Fewer wheel changes mean less downtime.
The spiral design spreads wear evenly across the wheel surface, avoiding early failure points. This smart construction gives you up to 40% more wheel life in busy production settings.

Choosing the Right Wheel for Your Operation
Selecting the best polishing wheel means considering several key factors:
- Glass Type Considerations: Different glass types respond differently to polishing compounds. Our technical team helps match wheel specifications to your glass—whether it’s standard float, low-iron, or specialty coated products.
- Production Volume Needs: High-volume operations benefit from long-lasting wheels, while custom shops might prefer versatile options. We help you find the right balance for your situation.
- Machine Compatibility: With decades of experience across all major brands, we ensure your wheels fit perfectly with your equipment—no expensive trial and error needed.
By taking these factors into account, we create polishing solutions tailored specifically to your operation’s unique requirements and goals.
