Value Collection 516057 Polishing Buffing Wheel 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516057 is a 12-inch diameter unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and buffing applications on a range of materials. At 3/4 inch thick with a soft density construction and a single-ply build, this wheel delivers a compliant, conforming contact surface suited for final-stage polishing passes. The 1/2-inch arbor hole fits common bench grinders, polishing lathes, and buffing spindles found in shop and field environments. At 1.32 pounds, it is easy to handle and swap during multi-stage finishing workflows.

This wheel is used in metalworking, fabrication, and general finishing shops where a soft, flexible buffing action is needed. Soft-density wheels are selected when the goal is a high-luster final finish rather than aggressive material removal. Typical applications include polishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, aluminum, brass, and similar workpieces where surface quality is the priority. It is commonly installed on bench-mounted polishing heads or pedestal grinders by machinists, fabricators, and metalfinishing technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or finishing technician familiar with rotary polishing equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the arbor nut is properly secured and that the wheel spins true before beginning a polishing pass. Do not exceed the rated RPM of the wheel or the machine spindle.
