Value Collection 516061 Polishing Buffing Wheel 12in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516061 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing operations on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built at 12 inches in diameter with a 1 inch thickness and a 1/2 inch arbor hole, this single-ply wheel installs directly onto bench grinders, buffing machines, and arbor-driven polishing equipment. The medium density construction provides consistent contact pressure across the work surface, making it suitable for general-purpose polishing, light deburring, and pre-finish preparation. It weighs approximately 1.95 pounds. Machinists, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this wheel in both shop and production environments.

This buffing wheel is used in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and light manufacturing settings where consistent surface finish is required. It suits benchtop polishing machines and floor-standing buffing stations with a 1/2 inch arbor spindle. Typical applications include polishing stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and ferrous metals before plating, coating, or final inspection. The single-ply, medium density design is appropriate for controlled material removal and surface refinement rather than aggressive cutting or heavy stock removal.

Key Features

• 12 inch diameter provides a wide contact surface for efficient polishing passes
• 1 inch thickness delivers stable wheel body and consistent face contact
• 1/2 inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinder and buffing machine spindles
• Single-ply, medium density construction balances conformability with surface pressure
• Unmounted design allows direct installation onto existing arbor-driven equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket polishing wheel for bench-mounted and floor-standing buffing machines equipped with a 1/2 inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician. Always power down and de-energize the buffing machine before mounting or removing a wheel. Confirm that the machine spindle speed rating is compatible with the wheel diameter before operation, following ANSI B7.1 guidelines for abrasive and polishing wheel mounting. Inspect the wheel for damage or deformation before each use and do not operate a damaged wheel.
