Mini Sanding Drum 12.7mm X 3.2mm Shank
Shank Diameter: Ø3.2mm
Drum Diameter: Ø12.7mm
This Mini Sanding Drum is a versatile and powerful abrasive accessory designed for efficient material removal and surface leveling. With a substantial 12.7mm drum diameter, it provides a larger contact area than its smaller counterparts, making it the ideal choice for smoothing out broader curves, flattening rough surfaces, and quickly prepping workpieces for their final finish.
The tool features a heavy-duty 3.2mm shank, ensuring full compatibility with standard Dremel tools, rotary handpieces, and die grinders. This industry-standard shank size offers the necessary rigidity to handle the increased centrifugal force of a wider drum, providing a smooth, wobble-free experience even when applying the moderate pressure required for aggressive sanding or deburring.
The cylindrical geometry of the 12.7mm drum is exceptionally effective for refining internal radii and smoothing the edges of wood, metal, fiberglass, and composites. Its size allows it to cover more ground in less time, making it a favorite for larger-scale hobby projects, home repairs, and industrial woodworking where efficiency is just as important as precision.
Built to act as a secure mandrel for replaceable sanding sleeves, this drum features a design that keeps the abrasive bands firmly in place during high-speed operation. This ensures that you can move through various grits—from coarse shaping to fine smoothing—with minimal downtime, delivering a professional-grade finish on every project.

The shank of the rotary cutter is securely locked in place by fitting it in the corresponding collet or making use of a keyless chuck.
Rotation speed:
Most rotary tools have the benefit to adjust the rotation speed. Many tool bits that fit in rotary tools have a maximum speed setting. This can be found on the packaging.
All materials react differently to speed and will need the tool bit to rotate slower. It is recommended to start using accessories on the slower speed first, before increasing the speed as needed.
The diameter of the tool bit fitted also determines the rotation speed. The larger the diameter, the slower the speed. If the speed is set too high, it could bend the shank/shaft resulting in injury.
