160x50x20 Woodworking Machine Spares Cotton Polishing Wheels For Edgebander

Replacing a worn buffer on an edge banding machine should not need a lathe. This wheel is 160 mm outside diameter, 50 mm bore, 20 mm thick and 245 g, so it mounts on the same spindle as the wheel it replaces, with no adapter. The face is layered cotton cloth for the final gloss pass on a trimmed PVC or ABS edge. One part number covers every machine in the shop running the 160 x 50 x 20 stack. Price by quote.

Three things go wrong when a polishing station runs out of parts. The buffer glazes over and burnishes instead of polishing, so the edge leaves the line hazy. A spare arrives with a bore that does not match the spindle, and goes on the shelf. The operator stops the machine every shift to re-dress a face that was already worn flat.

This 160 x 50 x 20 mm cotton buffing wheel is the consumable that keeps that station working. Outside diameter 160 mm, inner bore 50 mm, face width 20 mm, net weight 245 g per wheel. The face is built from layered cotton cloth, a soft contact surface that brings a trimmed edge to gloss without roughing the panel face behind it.

Dimensions decide fit, not catalogue copy. Check two numbers against the old wheel: 160 mm outside diameter and 50 mm bore for the arbor or spacer. The 20 mm face width keeps the contact patch on the edge band, so the wheel does not wander onto the finished board.

A polishing station takes one size, one material, one part number. At 245 g a spare costs little to hold, and a carton of them stays light to move. Other sizes and shapes of polishing wheel are made to order. Send the outside diameter, bore and width you run, and the quote comes back against those numbers.

What the part is, in numbers you can check before ordering.

• 160 mm outside diameter — the number to measure on the wheel you are replacing, not on the machine casing.
• 50 mm bore — slides over a 50 mm arbor or spacer; the bore is the figure that most often differs between wheels of the same diameter.
• 20 mm face width — puts the polishing contact on the edge band instead of the board face beside it.
• 245 g per wheel — light enough to change one-handed over a machine, and light to hold as a shelf spare.
• Layered cotton cloth — a soft, non-metallic polishing face for the gloss pass that follows edge trimming.
• Consumable, not capital — buy it as a line item and replace it when the face flattens, on a schedule you set.
• One part number for the line — every station running the 160 x 50 x 20 stack is covered, so stores keeps one card, one reorder point.
• Other sizes and shapes to order — quote from a drawing, a sample, or three measurements of the wheel you have.
• Catalogued as a machine spare — listed for the polishing station of a woodworking edge banding machine, not as a general-purpose buffer.

When a buffer wears flat, the shop can keep running it, or send the panels out for a finishing pass at another shop's price and turnaround. A wheel on the shelf removes the choice.

• The station changes over in minutes. A dull buffer is a consumable swap, not a repair ticket: take off the worn wheel, fit the 160 mm one, tighten the spacer.
• The gloss pass stays in-house. No outside freight of panels and no queue for polishing the last 20 mm of edge band.
• Stores carries one number. A 160 x 50 x 20 wheel, 245 g, one material — easier to count and to reorder than four near-identical spares with different bores.
• Weight stays out of the shipment. At 245 g per wheel a box of spares adds almost nothing when it rides along with a machine parts order.
• The bore is published, not assumed. 50 mm sits in the table above, so the buyer can check it against the spindle before the order is confirmed.
• Quoted against your quantity. Price on request rather than a list figure, so a shop buying for one station is not priced like a distributor buying a pallet.
• One wheel, one documented role. It is listed as a spare for woodworking edge banding machines, which is what it is; nothing about the fit has to be guessed from a photo.

Only if your buffer spindle takes a 50 mm bore. It fits machines built for a 160 x 50 x 20 wheel. Measure the old one first.

Cotton. The face is layered cotton cloth at 245 g. Sisal is a different, coarser part — tell us which the station ran.

One per polishing spindle. Count the buffer spindles on your machine and order that many plus one spare.

Depends on edge volume and spindle pressure, so we give no hour figure. Change it when the face flattens, and keep one spare per spindle.

No, when the three numbers match. It goes on the existing spindle and spacer as the worn wheel came off.

Yes. Other sizes and shapes are made to order — send the outside diameter, bore and width, or a sample.

No, price is by quote. Send quantity and size and the figure comes back against that.

245 g net per wheel — light enough to change one-handed over a machine, and low in shipping weight for a box of spares.
