The "bias-cut" is a technique used by tailors and dress-makers for cutting cloth. The greater stretch in the bias (diagonal) direction of the fabric, helps it accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. The bias of a piece of woven fabric is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads. Every piece of woven fabric has two biases, at right angles to each other. Fabrics which are not woven, such as felt, do not have a bias.
On industrial application, Koyo-Sha Bias cut are devised with 12~16mm of high quality cloth buff in thickness. 16-ply (sheets) of cloth are fixed with a clinch ring in center infolding in order to have plenty of pleats of bias-cut cloth. The more the pleats, the harder the buff becomes. Koyo-Sha Bias Cloth Buff is optimized for finer polishing on various surface. However, when the workpiece's surface are of irregular shape, corrugated and need to be woked with moderate cutting, Koyo-Sha Wide Finger sisal buff will perform much better.
Koyo-Sha Bias Cloth Buff Disc are classified into 5 stages as M-0, 2, 4, 6, 8 by their softness. As a guidance of polishing process, M-4~8 are used for cutting and cut & coloring and M-0~2 for coloring. Koyo-Sha Bias Cloth Buff, with many characteristics listed below, are suitable for wide range of buffing with manual or with automatic polishing machine from cutting to coloring.
