Rotary tool sanding drum GRAPHITE 55H070 — shank 3.2 mm, drum Ø 12.7 mm, pack of 10

GRAPHITE 55H070 sanding drums are a pack of 10 abrasive sleeves designed for use with rotary tools and die grinders that accept a 3.2 mm shank. Each drum attachment features a 3.2 mm shank and a 12.7 mm outer drum diameter, with two grit options included in the set: K60 and K120. These sanding drums are intended for sanding, shaping, surface preparation and light material removal on a variety of substrates including wood, metal, plastics and composites.

Advantages

The set combines coarse and medium abrasive grits that allow both rapid material removal and finer surface finishing without changing the tool. The 3.2 mm shank ensures compatibility with most mini rotary tools, while the compact 12.7 mm drum diameter provides access to confined areas and detailed contours. Supplied as a pack of 10, the drums are convenient for repeated tasks and replacements during longer jobs.

Suitable for

• Sanding and shaping small wooden parts and profiles
• Deburring and surface preparation of metal and alloy components
• Removing rust and paint residues from narrow areas
• Finishing and trimming plastic, fiberglass and composite surfaces
• Working on ceramic, stone or glass where small-diameter abrasive tools are required

How to use

Select a compatible rotary tool that accepts a 3.2 mm shank and ensure the tool is switched off and unplugged before fitting the drum. Secure the drum on the collet according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, check concentricity, and start with a low speed to confirm stable rotation. For coarse material removal, use the K60 sleeves; switch to K120 for smoothing and finishing. Apply light, even pressure and keep the drum moving to avoid overheating or creating gouges in the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, dust mask and hearing protection. Match speed settings to the work material—lower speeds for plastics and glass, higher speeds for wood and metal—while avoiding excessive pressure to extend abrasive life. Replace worn sleeves promptly to maintain consistent performance.
