Value Collection KP83701 Buffing Wheel 3in Loose Sewn

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP83701 is a mounted loose sewn buffing wheel designed for surface finishing, polishing, and light deburring applications. Built with 50 plies of stitched cloth, the loose sewn construction allows the wheel to conform to contoured surfaces while delivering consistent cut and polish. The wheel measures 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, with a 1/4 inch shank for direct mounting in a rotary tool, die grinder, or drill press. Machinists, metalworkers, and fabricators use this style of wheel when a balance of aggression and surface-following flexibility is needed.

This buffing wheel is suited for bench-mounted or handheld rotary applications in metal finishing, woodworking, and jewelry work environments. The 1/4 inch shank mounts directly into standard collets and chucks found on die grinders and rotary tools. It handles polishing compounds well and is commonly used in production finishing lines as well as one-off shop work. The loose sewn design is a step between tight sewn and loose buff wheels, offering moderate flexibility for curved or irregular workpieces.
