Standard Abrasives™ Spiral Band
Smooth, Balanced Application When balanced handling is essential and an abrasive belt won't fit the part, a good solution is to use a Standard Abrasives™ Rubber Sanding Drum fitted with a Standard Abrasives™ Spiral Band (sold separately). The spiral band can be a coated abrasive for polishing and blending, or a non-woven surface conditioning product for effective finishing. In either case, the Standard Abrasives™ Rubber Sanding Drum offers an even application on contours and hard-to-reach areas with a rotary tool.
Tips for Optimal Use It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping. Rather than deflecting or skidding over the substrate, the spiral band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The great news is, the drum requires no extra tools for band changes.
