Value Collection 516177 Polishing Bob Ball 1in Wool Felt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516177 is a ball-shaped mounted polishing bob designed for surface finishing, deburring, and polishing operations on metal, wood, and similar materials. Constructed from medium-density wool felt, it delivers consistent contact pressure and a smooth, controlled finish. The bob measures 1 inch in maximum diameter with a 1 inch head length, and mounts on a 1/4 inch shank for compatibility with standard rotary tools, die grinders, and drill presses. At 0.035 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during extended finishing work. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and fabrication professionals keep this bob on hand for detail polishing in tight contours and curved surfaces.

This mounted polishing bob is suited for bench work and hand-held rotary applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. It performs well on contoured surfaces, cavities, and radius edges where flat abrasive media cannot reach. The ball shape allows even pressure distribution across curved workpieces. The 2 inch shank length provides adequate reach into recesses and deep profiles. Typical applications include polishing mold cavities, deburring cast parts, and final-stage finishing before coating or inspection.
