Mini Sanding Sleeve 12.7mm 240g
Inside Diameter: Ø12.7mm
Outside Diameter: Ø13.6mm
Grit: 240
This Mini Sanding Sleeve is a premium fine-grit abrasive designed for the final stages of surface preparation and detailed finishing. Featuring a 240-grit texture, it is engineered to provide an ultra-smooth touch, making it the ideal tool for erasing the last vestiges of visible scratches and preparing wood, metal, or plastic for paint, stain, or high-gloss polishing. It offers a gentle yet effective cutting action that ensures a professional, silk-like finish on your most delicate projects.
With a standard 12.7mm inside diameter (1/2"), this sleeve is designed for a precision fit on any half-inch sanding drum mandrel. The 13.6mm outside diameter gives it a slim, streamlined profile, allowing for maximum control and visibility while you work. This thin-wall design is particularly beneficial when refining tight curves or leveling surfaces where precision is more critical than heavy material removal.
The construction of this sleeve features a high-density fine abrasive coating bonded to a resilient, flexible backing. This design helps the sleeve absorb vibrations and resist the heat buildup that often occurs during high-speed finishing. Because the 240-grit particles are so finely distributed, the tool maintains its shape and performance throughout its lifespan, preventing the "skipping" or uneven wear that can ruin a nearly-finished surface.
Perfect for luthiers, jewelry makers, and scale modelers, these 240-grit sleeves are the ultimate choice for achieving a "showroom" quality result. Whether you are blending a repair on a composite surface or giving a final sand to an intricate wood carving, these sleeves provide the consistency and finesse required for top-tier craftsmanship.

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.
