Value Collection 516024 Polishing Buffing Wheel 6in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516024 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and light material removal on metal, wood, and composite workpieces. Built to a hard density with a single-ply construction, it delivers consistent contact pressure across the work surface. The wheel measures 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, with a 1/2 inch arbor hole for mounting on standard bench grinders, polishing lathes, or arbor-driven spindles. At 0.64 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended operation without adding excessive load to the drive motor. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary users.

This wheel is suited for shop applications where a firm buffing action is required on flat or contoured surfaces. Hard density construction makes it appropriate for cutting compounds and aggressive polishing stages rather than final color buffing. It fits benchtop polishing lathes and bench grinders accepting a 1/2 inch arbor. Typical applications include deburring metal parts, pre-finishing stainless steel, and preparing surfaces before coating or plating operations.

Key Features

• 6 inch diameter provides a wide contact face suitable for flat and moderately curved workpieces
• 1 inch wheel thickness supports stable tracking during high-speed rotation
• Hard density construction delivers firm, consistent pressure ideal for cutting-compound polishing stages
• Single-ply build keeps the wheel profile rigid and reduces deflection under load
• 1/2 inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinder and polishing lathe spindles
• Unmounted design allows direct installation on existing arbor setups without an adapter hub

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount replacement or supplemental wheel for bench grinders and polishing lathes equipped with a 1/2 inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or finishing technician. Power down and lock out the bench grinder or polishing lathe completely before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm the arbor nut torque is sufficient to prevent slippage without cracking the wheel hub, following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the drive machine.
