Value Collection 516181 Mounted Polishing Bob Wool Felt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 516181 is a cylinder-shaped mounted polishing bob made from hard-density wool felt, designed for fine polishing and finishing work on metal, plastic, and similar surfaces. The bob measures 1-1/4 inches in maximum diameter and 1-1/4 inches in head length, mounted on a 1/4-inch shank with a 2-inch shank length. It fits standard rotary tools, die grinders, and drill presses. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metal finishing technicians use this type of accessory for precision surface work where consistent pressure and a controlled cut are required.

This mounted bob suits bench-top or handheld rotary applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. The hard felt density provides firm contact with the workpiece, making it appropriate for polishing compounds applied to tight contours, bores, and cylindrical surfaces. It is sold individually and is compatible with any rotary tool or machine spindle accepting a 1/4-inch shank.

Key Features

• Cylinder bob shape for consistent surface contact on flat and contoured workpieces
• Hard-density wool felt construction for firm, controlled polishing action
• 1-1/4 inch maximum diameter for medium-scale finishing tasks
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard rotary tools and die grinders
• 2 inch shank length provides clearance for deep or recessed areas
• Lightweight at approximately 0.05 pounds for reduced tool fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for rotary tools, die grinders, and drill press setups accepting a 1/4-inch round shank mounted accessory.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade machinists or finishing technicians using a standard collet or chuck that accepts a 1/4-inch shank. Ensure the rotary tool or grinder is powered off and unplugged before inserting or removing the shank. Secure the shank fully into the collet to the recommended depth before operation to prevent runout or slippage. Apply polishing compound to the bob before use rather than directly to the workpiece for best results.
