A. Bottini Black Emery Cake – Coarse Cutting Compound
The A. Bottini Black Emery Cake is a coarse cutting-grade buffing compound in cake form, used on a buffing wheel to clean rust off tools and dub sharp edges. BOE specifies it for cleaning rusty tools and for dubbing off sharp edges.
This is a coarse cutting grade — it cuts before it shines. For the finishing pass on tool blades, BOE builds the A. Bottini White Rouge Polishing Brick. Neither is a stone polishing compound.
