Value Collection 516022 Polishing Buffing Wheel 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516022 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and light material removal on metals, plastics, and composites. At 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a soft density construction, this wheel delivers a compliant, conforming buff that follows contours and produces a smooth finish. The 1/2 inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinders and polishing machines. The single-ply build keeps the wheel lightweight at 0.44 pounds, making it easy to handle during extended use. It is installed and used by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians in shop and production environments.

This buffing wheel suits a wide range of polishing applications including final finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, deburring of soft materials, and surface prep before coating or plating. The soft density is appropriate for contour work and final color buffing where a firm wheel would leave marks or remove too much material. It is well suited for use on bench grinders, polishing lathes, and arbor-mounted polishing stations in both production shops and maintenance facilities.

Installation Notes

Always power down and unplug or lock out the grinder or polishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Verify the arbor spindle diameter matches the 1/2 inch arbor hole before installation and ensure all flanges and washers are properly seated before operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and do not operate above the maximum RPM rating of the machine. Follow applicable shop safety codes and wear appropriate eye and face protection when operating any buffing or grinding equipment.
