Rubber emery
Abrasive rubber for grinding and finishing.
Abrasive grain bonded in rubber, used where a cutting action is needed rather than a polishing one.
Commonly paired with felt wheels in a finishing sequence — emery to take material down, felt to bring the surface up.

Surfaces
PlainGeneral roller covering where grip alone is wanted
- Looks like
- A smooth, even rubber face with no pattern on it.
- Feels like
- Grippy but smooth. Nothing raised to catch a fingernail.
- Comes as
- Sheet or a covering wound onto your roller.
- Tell us
- Roller diameter and face width, and the thickness of covering you use now.
EmeryCloth take-up rollers — the abrasive face that stops the fabric slipping
- Looks like
- A gritty face, like coarse sandpaper. You can see the individual grains.
- Feels like
- Rough and sharp to the touch. Grips hard.
- Comes as
- A band wound onto the take-up roller, so the cloth cannot slip.
- Tell us
- Roller size, the width of band you use, and how coarse the current one is.
Round pimpleGuide and draw rollers needing grip without marking
- Looks like
- Covered in small raised round studs, evenly spaced.
- Feels like
- Bumpy. The studs grip the cloth without the sharpness of grit.
- Comes as
- Sheet or roller covering.
- Tell us
- Roller size, and the fabric it has to grip without marking.
Square pimpleHeavier grip on coarse or heavy fabric
- Looks like
- Raised square studs instead of round ones, in a grid.
- Feels like
- Sharper edged than the round type, so it bites harder.
- Comes as
- Sheet or roller covering.
- Tell us
- Roller size, and how heavy or coarse the fabric is.
