The finest of emery applied upon such wheels is used for cast iron, wrought iron, and steel, to give to the work a good ordinary machine finish; but if a high polish or glaze is required, the wheels are coated with flour emery, and the wheel is made into a glaze-wheel by wearing the emery down until it gets glazed, applying occasionally a little grease to the surface of the wheel.
