Vincent FGS40 R3 Winner CNC Profile Wheel – Position 5 Polishing

The Vincent FGS40 R3 WINNER CNC profile wheel is a 4.06 in. (103 mm) position 5 resin polishing wheel that takes a CNC-profiled edge to gloss on granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite.

Diameter: 4.06 in. (103 mm) · Height: 2.17 in. (55 mm) · Bore: 1.38 in. (35 mm)

Vincent publishes no machining parameters we can attach to this part number: a position 4-6 WINNER resin polisher; the p.18 guide publishes parameters for EPIC polishing wheels only and Vincent publishes none for WINNER. Rather than print a figure from a neighbouring tool, we have left the feed rate, stock removal and spindle speed off this page.

Key Features

• Position 5 of Vincent's 0–6 set: positions 0–3 are metal bond and cut, positions 4–6 are resin and refine. This one removes no stock at all — that is why it can leave the cleanest edge the set is capable of.
• WINNER resin is the polishing line Vincent describes as the first to grant a perfect finish with no need of additional hand buffing — no secondary polishing, no hand blending after the machine.
• Finished off the machine. Where the set is dimensionally matched and the polish positions are programmed in sequence, the edge comes off the CNC ready to ship rather than going to a bench for hand polishing.
• Fitment: 4.06 in. (103 mm) diameter, 2.17 in. (55 mm) working height, 1.38 in. (35 mm) bore. Vincent sizes its resin polishers to match the metals in the same set, so positions swap without re-setting the tool length.

Who Is This For

A high-production shop that wants to polish straight off the CNC. The reason to run the full 4–6 resin sequence rather than stopping at position 5 is that each wheel is cutting finer than the last with zero stock removal, so the edge geometry set by the metals is preserved while the surface is brought up — no secondary polishing, no hand blending, and no operator standing at the machine during unattended cycles.

It is not a stock-removal tool and will not correct a bad edge. If the profile still shows tooling marks, the fault is upstream: go back to the position 3 fine metal wheel in the same FGS40 R3 set and re-cut, then polish. Running a resin polisher harder to fix a metal-wheel problem only burns the resin.

Vincent lists this wheel for granite, engineered stone and natural quartzite. For technical ceramics and Dekton it publishes a separate CERAM range; running a granite bond on ceramic slab is the usual cause of chipping at entry and exit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What feed rate should I run this at?
We are not publishing one. A position 4-6 WINNER resin polisher; the p.18 guide publishes parameters for EPIC polishing wheels only and Vincent publishes none for WINNER — so any figure on this page would be carried over from a different tool. Vincent's application guide is organised by position and wheel type, and this part number could not be tied to a row in it.

Does this wheel remove any material?
No. Vincent publishes zero stock removal for the resin polishing positions. It refines the surface the metal wheels left; it does not change the profile.

Do I still need to hand polish after this?
That is the point of the resin set: Vincent's stated aim for its CNC polishing wheels is a finish that needs no additional hand buffing. Position 6 is the last wheel in the sequence, so the edge is finished off the machine.

What bore does it need?
1.38 in. (35 mm). That is the standard Vincent profile-wheel spindle fitting for this range.

Is "engineered stone" the same as quartz?
Yes — engineered stone is Vincent's catalogue wording for quartz surfaces such as Caesarstone, Silestone and Cambria. The wheel is listed for them.
