Value Collection 516132 Mounted Polishing Bob Wool Felt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516132 is a cylinder-shaped mounted polishing bob designed for precision surface finishing and polishing operations. Constructed from medium-density wool felt, this bob delivers consistent buffing action on metal, plastic, and other workpiece materials. The 1/4-inch shank mounts directly into standard rotary tools, die grinders, and drill press chucks. At 1 inch maximum diameter and 2 inches of head length, it reaches into bores, cavities, and contoured surfaces where flat or large-diameter wheels cannot. Technicians and machinists use this type of bob for final finishing passes, deburring, and compound polishing on close-tolerance work.

This mounted bob is suited for bench-top and handheld rotary tool applications in machine shops, maintenance environments, and light fabrication settings. The cylinder geometry makes it well-matched to flat surfaces, slots, and shallow recesses. Medium-density wool felt holds polishing compound without shedding excessively, making it a practical choice for technicians who need controlled material removal and surface refinement on metal fittings, valve components, and similar trade hardware.

Key Features

• Cylinder shape for flat-surface and slot polishing access
• Medium-density wool felt construction holds compound and delivers consistent finish
• 1 inch maximum diameter suits tight bores and recessed areas
• 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard rotary tools and die grinders
• 2-inch head length and 2-inch shank length for extended reach
• Lightweight at 0.062 pounds for reduced operator fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with rotary tools, die grinders, and drill presses equipped with a standard 1/4-inch collet or chuck. Suitable for polishing metal, plastic, and composite surfaces in maintenance and light fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires inserting the 1/4-inch shank into a compatible collet or chuck and tightening securely before operation. Confirm the rotary tool or grinder is powered off and disconnected before mounting or removing the bob. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended RPM range for felt polishing accessories to avoid premature wear or bob deformation. Apply polishing compound to the bob face rather than directly to the workpiece for best results.
