Brand: Fulton

Features:

• Sanding curved surfaces like wooden bowls can be challenging and can take a long time to finish when sanding by hand. Sanding your project by hand can also cause fatigue and produce unsatisfactory results. The ¼” shank sanding mandrels have a thick padded base that conforms to concave or convex surfaces. Simply secure the mandrel into a variable speed drill or flexible shaft and you’re ready to go
• Once the mandrel is mounted and secured, you have a choice of what pad you would like to use. The padded base is a firm pad that works well with broader curved surfaces. The medium interface pad works well with tighter curves like those found on larger wood turned bowls. The soft interface pad is perfect for smaller, tighter curves and radii. You can also use both interface pads at the same time for even smaller, tighter radii when needed.
• The padded base mandrel and each interface pad are hook and loop compatible and will accept most any corresponding size hook and loop sandpaper disc. The shank is ¼” in diameter and will fit most any standard size drill style chuck. The mandrel pad is a firm foam material designed to give enough flexibility for larger convex and concave curves. When you need a softer touch, add one of the softer interface pads to the base to create just the right amount of give for sanding your project.
• These sanders have been designed to be used at slower and more controlled speeds. Heat is the enemy of any sanding project. When using these sanders on a lathe, we recommend that you set lathe at the slowest speed possible. This allows you to rough sand the bowl without burning the bowl or damaging the sander. As you step up in grits, you may want to increase the speed of your drill to quicken the sanding process.
• When using this sanding system, it is recommended to use the sanders in an electric, variable speed hand drill. Variable speed hand drills give you the ability to be more precise and allow you to control the speed of the sander rotation. This set comes with full color instructions on how to use them. Please note: These sanders are NOT designed for use in high speed grinders.

Details: Sanding curved surfaces can be challenging and can take a long time to finish when sanding by hand your using a soft sanding sponge or block. When using a large 5″ or 6″ orbitals sander won’t work, its time to turn to our padded sanding mandrels. The mandrels are made from a solid piece of metal with a thick padded base that conforms to concave or convex surfaces. Simply secure the mandrel into a hand drill, variable speed drill or flexible shaft and you’re ready to go.
