Value Collection 516084 Polishing Buffing Wheel 6in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516084 is a 1-ply, soft-density polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing applications on a wide range of materials. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, this unmounted wheel mounts directly to bench grinders, polishing lathes, or arbor-driven spindles. The soft density construction allows the wheel face to conform to contours, making it well-suited for final-stage polishing where cut is minimal and surface luster is the priority. At approximately 0.215 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during setup and changeover.

This polishing wheel is used in metal finishing, tool and die, fabrication, and maintenance operations where a clean, buffed surface finish is required. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites in both shop and light industrial environments. Machinists, tool room technicians, and general fabricators typically install and operate this wheel on standard buffing or grinding arbor setups.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter provides ample contact area for efficient surface polishing
• 1/2-inch wheel thickness for standard single-wheel buffing setups
• 1-inch arbor hole fits common bench grinder and polishing lathe spindles
• Soft density construction conforms to part contours for final-stage luster polishing
• 1-ply construction for lightweight, flexible wheel action
• Unmounted design for direct installation onto arbor-driven equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount polishing wheel for bench grinders, buffing lathes, and arbor spindles equipped with a 1-inch arbor diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified shop technician or machinist familiar with rotating abrasive and buffing equipment. Always power down and lockout the machine before mounting or removing the wheel. Confirm that the arbor speed rating of the equipment does not exceed the rated operating speed for the wheel diameter in use, following applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive and buffing wheel operation. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and never operate a cracked or deformed buffing wheel.
