Value Collection 516055 Polishing Buffing Wheel 12in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516055 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and light material removal on metal, wood, and similar workpieces. Measuring 12 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, this single-ply wheel features a 1/2-inch arbor hole for straightforward mounting on bench grinders, polishing machines, and arbor-driven spindles. The medium-density construction provides a balance between compliance and cutting action, making it suitable for general-purpose polishing tasks across fabrication, maintenance, and finishing operations. Machinists, metalworkers, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users of this wheel type.

This buffing wheel fits common bench grinder and standalone polishing machine setups found in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. The 12-inch diameter suits mid-size spindle equipment operating at appropriate surface speeds for polishing compounds. The single-ply, medium-density configuration works well for final polishing passes where a softer contact is needed to achieve a consistent surface finish without aggressive material removal.

Key Features

• 12-inch wheel diameter accommodates mid-size bench grinders and polishing machines

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose unmounted polishing wheel for use on bench grinders and polishing machines equipped with a 1/2-inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the grinder or polishing machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Ensure the arbor nut and flanges are properly seated and tightened before operating. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and confirm the machine speed rating does not exceed the wheel's rated maximum surface speed.
