Value Collection 516018 Polishing Buffing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516018 is a hard-density, single-ply polishing wheel designed for buffing and surface finishing applications. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick with a 0.5-inch arbor hole, it mounts directly to bench grinders, polishing lathes, and arbor-drive machines without additional hardware. The hard wheel density provides firm contact against workpiece surfaces, making it well suited for cutting compounds and initial polishing stages where controlled pressure and consistent surface contact are required.

This polishing wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and finishing environments where a hard buff is needed to achieve initial luster or to work with abrasive polishing compounds. It is appropriate for use on metals including steel, aluminum, and brass in both shop and light industrial settings. Trade machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators commonly use this wheel on bench-mounted polishing equipment for part finishing and surface prep work.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter provides broad surface contact for efficient polishing passes
• Hard wheel density delivers firm, controlled buffing action suitable for cutting compounds
• Single-ply construction for consistent flex and surface engagement
• 0.5-inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinder and polishing lathe spindles
• Compact 0.5-inch wheel thickness allows use in confined polishing setups

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount polishing wheel for bench grinders and polishing lathes fitted with a 0.5-inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or fabricators. Power down and lock out the bench grinder or polishing lathe completely before mounting or removing the wheel. Ensure the arbor nut and flanges are properly seated and tightened before resuming operation. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not exceed the rated speed of the machine or the wheel.
