Superior Abrasives A020700 Mounted Buffing Wheel 3in Medium

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ABRASIVES A020700 is a mounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing applications in metalworking, fabrication, and general shop use. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick, with a 1/4 inch shank for secure chucking in a drill press, die grinder, or rotary tool. Rated at a medium grade, it delivers consistent material removal and surface refinement without aggressive cutting action. At 0.42 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without operator fatigue. Technicians and machinists reach for this wheel when a controlled, smooth finish is the goal.

This mounted buffing wheel is suited for use in metal finishing, light deburring, and polishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as plastics and composites. It fits standard 1/4 inch collet tooling, making it compatible with common rotary tools and die grinders found in HVAC, plumbing, and fabrication shops. The medium grade is a practical choice for general-purpose work where the surface needs smoothing or light oxidation removal without excessive stock removal.

Key Features

• 3 inch diameter wheel provides good surface coverage in a compact mounted format
• 2 inch thick profile delivers extended wheel life and consistent contact surface
• 1/4 inch shank mounts directly in standard collets and die grinder chucks
• Medium grade balances cutting action with surface refinement for general-purpose polishing
• Lightweight at 0.42 pounds for reduced fatigue during prolonged use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch collet rotary tools, die grinders, and drill presses commonly used in metalworking and trade shop environments.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified tradesperson should mount the wheel securely in a 1/4 inch collet before operation, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the chuck or collet nut is tightened properly. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage or wear before each use and do not exceed the tool manufacturer's rated RPM for the accessory. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn during all polishing and buffing operations.
