Value Collection 516090 Polishing Buffing Wheel 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516090 is an unmounted polishing buffing wheel designed for surface finishing and polishing applications across metalworking, woodworking, and fabrication environments. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, this single-ply wheel features a soft density construction suited for final-stage polishing and light buffing work. It mounts directly to bench grinders, lathes, or buffing machines with a compatible 1-inch arbor spindle. Trade professionals and skilled fabricators use this wheel to achieve smooth, finished surfaces on metal, plastic, and similar workpieces without aggressive material removal.

This wheel is appropriate for light-duty polishing tasks in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication operations. Its soft density rating makes it well suited for applying polishing compounds and achieving a high-luster finish on workpieces that have already been ground or sanded to a refined surface. The 1-ply construction keeps the wheel lightweight and responsive during operation. It is compatible with standard buffing and polishing setups where an 8-inch unmounted wheel with a 1-inch arbor is specified.

Key Features

• 8-inch wheel diameter accommodates standard bench grinder and buffing machine setups
• Soft density construction ideal for final polishing and compound application
• 1-inch arbor hole fits common spindle sizes on buffing machines and lathes
• 1-inch wheel thickness provides consistent surface contact during polishing passes
• Single-ply build keeps weight low and allows precise control during finishing work
• Unmounted design offers flexibility for use across multiple compatible machines

Compatibility

Designed for use with buffing machines, bench grinders, and lathes equipped with a 1-inch arbor spindle and capable of accepting an 8-inch unmounted polishing wheel.

Installation Notes

Power down and lock out the buffing machine or grinder before mounting or removing the wheel. Inspect the arbor spindle for damage or runout before installation and confirm the arbor nut is properly torqued according to the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Always operate within the maximum RPM rating of the wheel and wear appropriate eye protection and face shielding during use. Apply polishing compound sparingly and allow the wheel to reach operating speed before contacting the workpiece.
