Value Collection 516040 Polishing Buffing Wheel 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516040 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing operations on metals and similar materials. At 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick with a medium-density, single-ply construction, this wheel delivers consistent buffing performance across a range of applications. The 1/2 inch arbor hole mounts directly to standard bench grinders and polishing machines. It is typically installed and used by machinists, metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require a reliable, general-purpose polishing wheel for their shop or field work.

This buffing wheel suits light to medium polishing tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and finished surfaces. The medium-density single-ply design allows controlled material contact, making it appropriate for both deburring work and surface finishing in shop environments. It fits standard bench-mounted or pedestal polishing and grinding machines equipped with a 1/2 inch arbor spindle.
