    Polish workpieces of any material. These bobs are made of felt, so you can pair them with your choice of buffing compound or lapping paste. Use bobs with a drill or grinder for bits and burs to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots.
    Wool Felt—These bobs absorb and retain compounds better than synthetic felt bobs, so you don't need to reapply the compounds as often.
    Synthetic Felt—Made with synthetic fibers, these are more porous than wool bobs. Soft bobs are more compressible to squeeze into smaller spaces. Hard bobs dissipate more heat during aggressive polishing, so they last longer and won't damage workpieces.
    Soft—Create the finest finish and polish delicate materials.
    Medium—Balance removing material with leaving a smooth finish.
    Hard—For aggressive material removal.
    Extra Hard—The most aggressive material removal. These bobs are also good for hard materials.

    Forget the mess—polish soft metals and nonmetals without compounds. These bobs are embedded with silicon carbide abrasive, which generates minimal heat to reduce material buildup. That makes them best for polishing soft materials prone to clogging, such as aluminum and plastic. All cut fast and with light pressure. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate.
    Wool Felt—Softer than rubber, these bobs better conform to your work surface and prevent gouging. They're the best choice for final finishing steps.
    Neoprene—These bobs balance durability with flexibility. They last longer than felt bobs and conform to surfaces better than polyurethane rubber.

    Eliminate the need for messy compounds while polishing hard metals. These bobs come embedded with diamond, the hardest abrasive we offer. They’re best for cutting into stainless steel, titanium, and other tough materials. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate.

    Skip the messy compounds—these bobs come embedded with aluminum oxide, the most common abrasive material. Best for polishing steel, they’re also a good all-purpose option for other materials when specialty bobs aren’t available. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate.
    Polyurethane Rubber—Harder than neoprene and wool felt, these bobs hold their shape longer, even during heavy use.
    Neoprene—These bobs balance durability with flexibility. They last longer than felt bobs and conform to surfaces better than polyurethane rubber.

    No-Mess Polishing Bob Assortments for Hard Metals

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Polishing Bobs. No-Mess Polishing Bob Assortments for Hard Metals.
    Keep multiple shapes, sizes, and grits on hand to polish hard metals without any messy compounds. These bobs come embedded with long-lasting diamond abrasive—the hardest we offer. They’re best for cutting into stainless steel, titanium, and other tough materials. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate. Labels in the lid include our part numbers, so it's easy to replenish the assortments.
    Wool Felt—Softer than rubber, these bobs better conform to your work surface and prevent gouging. They're the best choice for final finishing steps.

    No-Mess Polishing Bob Assortments for Reciprocating Polishers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Polishing Bobs. No-Mess Polishing Bob Assortments for Reciprocating Polishers.
    Keep a variety of rectangular sizes and grits on hand to polish flat surfaces with a reciprocating polisher—no messy compounds required. These bobs are embedded with silicon carbide abrasive, which stays cool to prevent buildup. That makes them best for soft metals prone to clogging, such as aluminum. The abrasive also lets you cut fast without pressing hard. Their flat profile suits both large surfaces and straight, narrow spaces. The bobs have a beveled tip to polish on an angle. Grit is approximate. Labels in the lid include our part numbers, so it's easy to replenish the assortments.
    Polyurethane Rubber—Harder than neoprene and wool felt, these bobs hold their shape longer, even during heavy use.

    Keep multiple shapes, sizes, and grits on hand to polish soft materials without any messy compounds. These bobs are embedded with silicon carbide abrasive, which generates minimal heat to reduce material buildup. That makes them best for polishing soft materials prone to clogging, such as aluminum. All cut fast and with light pressure. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate. Labels in the lid include our part numbers, so it's easy to replenish the assortments.

    Polish delicate surfaces that are easily scratched, such as glass and ceramics, without messy compounds. These bobs are embedded with cerium oxide abrasive, which is less aggressive than other materials. They remove light scratches, scuffs, cloudy surfaces, and hard water etching. Polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots using a drill or grinder for bits and burs.

    Use your reciprocating polisher to polish flat surfaces on any material. Made of felt, you can pair these versatile polishing bobs with the buffing compound or lapping paste of your choice to get the best results for your specific material. With a flat profile, they're good for polishing large surfaces as well as squeezing into straight, narrow spaces. They also have a beveled tip to polish on an angle.
    Wool Felt—These bobs absorb and retain compounds better than synthetic felt bobs, so you don't need to reapply the compounds as often.
    Medium—Balance removing material with leaving a smooth finish.
    Hard—For aggressive material removal.
