ABSTRACT:
A buffing pad includes hub including screw threads therein for releasably attaching the hub to a drive shaft from either side of the hub. A fusible center disk is attached to the hub and a pair of buffing pads are provided with each having a plurality of yarn tufts protruding from a first side thereof and a plurality of yarn stitches which are exposed in a second side thereof. Additional fusible material is provided for securing the stitches in the buffing pads, coaxially securing the center disk between the second sides of the buffing disks and securing the second sides of the buffing disk together to form a buffing pad, with the two tufted first sides of the buffing disk facing outwardly from one another. During manufacture of the buffing pad the center disk is heat-formed into a tapered configuration which decreases in thickness from a position adjacent a coaxial hold therein to an outer edge thereof. This tapering enables the pad to be flexible at outer edges thereof for conforming with curved surfaces, yet at the same time maintaining a firm support toward the center thereof for application of pressure during buffing.
