Value Collection 516118 Cylinder Polishing Bob Wool Felt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516118 is a cylinder-shaped mounted polishing bob designed for precision surface finishing and polishing operations. Constructed from hard-density wool felt, this bob delivers consistent cut and buffing action on metal, plastic, and similar workpiece materials. The 0.5-inch maximum diameter and 0.125-inch shank diameter make it compatible with standard rotary tools, die grinders, and flex-shaft machines. A 2-inch shank length provides reach into bores, cavities, and recessed areas that larger tooling cannot access. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and finishing specialists typically use this style of bob for detail work on precision components.

This mounted polishing bob is suited for bench-top rotary tool work and handheld die grinder applications in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments. The cylinder profile allows uniform contact across flat and slightly contoured surfaces. The hard felt density is appropriate for polishing and light deburring where a firmer surface is needed to maintain shape under pressure.

Key Features

• Cylinder bob shape for consistent flat-surface contact during polishing passes
• Hard-density wool felt construction for firm, controlled polishing action
• 0.5-inch maximum diameter fits standard collets and mandrel setups
• 0.125-inch shank diameter compatible with common rotary tool and die grinder chucks
• 2-inch shank length provides reach into recessed areas and bores
• 0.5-inch head length delivers adequate polishing surface in a compact form

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and flex-shaft machines accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter collet or chuck.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully into the collet or chuck before operation and confirm the locking mechanism is tightened. Verify that the tool RPM rating does not exceed the rated speed for felt bobs of this diameter. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces before beginning polishing operations. Inspect the bob for wear or separation from the shank before each use and replace if damage is observed.
