A "basic - must have" set:
2 6" sisal wheels
2 6" spiral sewn wheels
2 6' loose cotton wheels
(make sure you get wheels with the proper hole size)
1 bar black emery compound
1 bar bown triploi compound
1 bar white rouge (?) compound
With Caswell's 2-fer pricing going on, might as well load up on wheels.. I tend to eat up the sisals and loose cottons pretty quick and I'm just a hobbyist..
Stack wheels if you want - I run 2-3 at a time for the most part. Spend the majority of your time with the sisal/black combo. It's gonna do the most "work" for you. I've found that once the parts start getting warm, you really start to see the shine come on. Adding compound for a second or two every minute or two works well for me.
Sisal/Black
Spiral/Brown
Loose/White
Wheels/compounds in that order, with proper cut & color technique should get ya started in the right direction.
Good luck!!
