Mini Sanding Sleeve 12.7mm 60g
Inside Diameter: Ø12.7mm
Outside Diameter: Ø14.6mm
Grit: 60
This Mini Sanding Sleeve is a heavy-duty abrasive powerhouse designed for aggressive material removal and rapid surface leveling. Featuring a coarse 60-grit texture, it is the go-to choice for the initial stages of a project, where stripping away old finishes, smoothing out deep gouges, or shaping raw wood and metal is the priority. The sharp, durable abrasive grains cut through tough materials with efficiency, saving you time and effort during the "rough-in" phase of your work.
With a substantial 12.7mm inside diameter (1/2"), this sleeve is engineered to fit perfectly onto standard half-inch sanding drum mandrels. The 14.6mm outside diameter provides a broad contact surface, allowing for more uniform sanding over larger areas compared to smaller detail bits. This increased surface area makes it exceptionally effective for smoothing out the internal curves of woodworking projects or deburring long edges on metal fabrications.
Constructed with a rugged, cloth-backed reinforcement, these sleeves are built to endure the high centrifugal forces and heat generated by professional rotary tools. The high-quality bond ensures that the 60-grit particles remain anchored to the sleeve even under heavy pressure, preventing premature balding and providing a consistent cut throughout its life.
Whether you are restoring vintage furniture, shaping composite materials, or cleaning up industrial castings, these 1/2" sanding sleeves offer the reliability and "bite" required for demanding tasks. They provide the necessary strength to transform rough, uneven workpieces into cleanly shaped forms, establishing a solid foundation for finer finishing steps.

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 normally 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.
