Abrasive Paste

Abrasive Paste for Woodturning

Abrasive paste is one of the simplest ways to cut back on fine sanding. Used on the workpiece, it helps remove fine scratch marks (sanding lines) left after sanding to 240/320 grit. These abrasive pastes smooth the surface and prepare the timber for wax or final buffing. If you are turning bowls, boxes, pens, spindles, or decorative pieces, a good woodturning abrasive paste can save time at the sanding stage and leave you with a more consistent result.

This category is focused purely on woodturning abrasive paste and cutting compounds, because that is what we sell: tools and finishes that are made to work on the lathe. Here you will find trusted options, including Chestnut Cut n Polish and True Grit abrasive wax paste, both popular choices with turners who want a reliable, repeatable finish. Cut n Polish is ideal as a cutting and polishing compound for bringing up clarity and shine, while True Grit is a practical abrasive wax paste that helps refine the surface and improve the final look before applying finishing wax.
