Value Collection 516038 Polishing Buffing Wheel 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516038 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing applications across metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication environments. Built with a hard density construction and a single-ply design, this wheel delivers firm, controlled contact against workpiece surfaces. At 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, it provides a substantial working face suited for bench grinder or arbor-mounted polishing setups. The 1/2 inch arbor hole allows for straightforward mounting on standard spindles. Weighing approximately 1.14 pounds, it is easy to handle and swap during production runs. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this type of wheel.

This buffing wheel is suited for use in shop environments where consistent surface refinement is required. It is well-matched to bench grinders and polishing lathes with compatible arbor sizes. Typical applications include deburring, light stock removal, and final polishing passes on metal, plastic, or composite workpieces. The hard density rating makes it especially effective for work that requires firmer buffing pressure rather than soft, conforming contact. It is used in both job-shop and production-floor settings.

Key Features

• 8 inch diameter provides a large working face for efficient surface coverage
• Hard density construction delivers firm, consistent buffing pressure
• 1 inch wheel thickness supports stable contact across the workpiece
• 1/2 inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinder and polishing lathe spindles
• Single-ply design for straightforward mounting and balanced rotation
• Unmounted configuration allows use with a range of compatible arbor setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit polishing wheel for bench grinders and arbor-mounted polishing machines accepting a 1/2 inch arbor and accommodating an 8 inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician familiar with abrasive and buffing wheel safety standards. Always power down and de-energize the grinder or polishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the machine's rated wheel diameter and arbor size match this wheel's specifications before operating. Follow applicable ANSI and shop safety guidelines for wheel inspection, guard clearance, and maximum operating speed before use.
