Vincent T30 R6 Double Radius Epic CNC Profile Wheel – Position 5 Polishing
The Vincent T30 R6 Double Radius Epic CNC Profile Wheel is a 3.31 in. (84 mm) position 5 resin polishing wheel that takes a CNC-profiled edge to gloss on granite, marble, engineered stone and ultra-compact / porcelain surfaces.
Spindle speed: 2,700 RPM
Feed rate: up to 59 in./min (1,500 mm/min)
Stock removal: zero — this wheel refines, it does not cut
Diameter: 3.31 in. (84 mm) · Height: 1.85 in. (47 mm) · Bore: 1.38 in. (35 mm)
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.
- EPIC resin replaces Vincent's earlier three-step WINNER polish. Vincent publishes three times the life of WINNER and a resin layer thick and uniform enough to hold a consistent polish from the first piece to the last without dropping to reduced starting parameters.
- Run at 2,700 RPM with a feed of up to 59 in./min (1,500 mm/min). Stock removal is zero by design: the wheel refines the surface the position 3 metal wheel left rather than cutting it further.
- 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: 3.31 in. (84 mm) diameter, 1.85 in. (47 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 T30 R6 set and re-cut, then polish. Running a resin polisher harder to fix a metal-wheel problem only burns the resin.
Vincent lists the EPIC resin line for polishing granite, marble, engineered stone and ultra-compact / porcelain materials, which is a wider range than the metal wheels it follows. The metals ahead of it in the set are the ones that have to match the material.
Frequently Asked Questions
What feed rate and spindle speed should I run at position 5?
Vincent publishes up to 59 in./min (1,500 mm/min) at 2,700 RPM for a position 5 polishing wheel of this type, with stock removal zero — this wheel refines, it does not cut. Those are the manufacturer's figures for the position, not a shop rule of thumb.
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.
