Mini Sanding Sleeve 12.7mm 120g 12pc
Inside Diameter: Ø12.7mm
Outside Diameter: Ø14mm
Grit: 120
This Mini Sanding Sleeve is a versatile, medium-fine abrasive tool designed for professional-grade surface refinement and blending. With a 120-grit texture, it is the ideal choice for secondary-stage sanding, effectively smoothing out the heavy textures left by coarser bits while prepping your workpiece for a final finish. It provides a clean, uniform surface on wood, metal, plastic, and composites, making it a staple for craftsmen who prioritize a smooth, scratch-free transition.
Designed with a 12.7mm inside diameter (1/2"), this sleeve slides easily and securely onto standard half-inch sanding drum mandrels. The 14mm outside diameter creates a low-profile yet effective contact area that allows for excellent control during high-speed rotation. This specific sizing is perfect for smoothing larger internal radii, leveling flat surfaces, and refining the edges of complex projects without the bulk of full-sized sanding equipment.
Durability is at the core of this sleeve's construction, featuring a reinforced backing that resists stretching and tearing under the heat and friction of high-RPM rotary tools. The 120-grit abrasive is meticulously bonded to ensure a consistent cut from the moment you start until the job is done. This reliability prevents unexpected gouging and ensures that every pass brings you closer to a professional, "satin-smooth" result.
Whether you are a woodworker smoothing a curved bowl, a metalworker deburring a fabrication, or a hobbyist refining a 3D print, these 12.7mm sleeves offer the perfect balance of speed and precision. By removing surface imperfections efficiently, they serve as the crucial bridge between rough shaping and final polishing, ensuring your project looks its best.

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.
