Abrasive sanding drums are used to mount an abrasive sanding sleeve. The rubber drum expands to hold the sanding sleeve in place. Sleeves are secured on the drum by controlled expansion of the solid rubber drum spindle. The rubber provides a cushioned backing to assure a smooth, even finish during use. Always remember to use recommended safety equipment when working with hand and power tools.
