Value Collection 516086 Polishing Buffing Wheel 6 in Soft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516086 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and light deburring applications. Measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, this single-ply wheel features a soft density construction suited for applying polishing compounds and achieving smooth, consistent finishes on metal, plastic, and composite surfaces. The 1-inch arbor hole accommodates standard bench grinder and polishing machine spindles. It is used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in shop environments where controlled, fine-finish polishing is required.

This wheel is appropriate for bench-mounted or freestanding polishing machines with a 1-inch arbor spindle. Its soft density makes it well suited for final-stage polishing passes rather than aggressive material removal. Typical applications include finishing stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials in light manufacturing, job shop, and maintenance settings. The single-ply construction keeps the wheel flexible, allowing it to conform slightly to irregular or curved workpiece profiles during polishing operations.

Key Features

• 6-inch diameter provides ample surface contact for efficient polishing passes
• Soft density construction ideal for final-stage polishing and compound application
• 1-inch arbor hole fits standard bench grinder and polishing machine spindles
• 1-inch wheel thickness delivers consistent face contact across the workpiece
• Single-ply design allows slight flex to follow curved or contoured surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard unmounted polishing wheel for bench grinders and polishing machines equipped with a 1-inch arbor spindle.

Installation Notes

Mounting should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's spindle and arbor guidelines. Always power down and lock out the polishing machine before installing or removing the wheel. Inspect the wheel for damage before each use and ensure the arbor nut is properly secured before operating. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn at all times during polishing operations.
