Description
Small sanding band for detailed sanding of wood and plastics.
Sanding bands will generally remove finish and material (wood or other soft material). These bands are also used for (rough) shaping and smoothing or rust removal from metal. If you want to remove just finish, consider something less aggressive like a flap wheel (no. 502 or 504), or a buff like the no. 511S/512S or 511E/512E.
The physical appearance of the band indicates what grit it is, the larger the bumps the lower the grit.
Sanding bands are available in 120 and 60 grit. The lower the grit, the more material is removed.
Use the sides of the bands to do the sanding.
Sanding bands will wear out and are replaceable by loosening the screw on the top of the drum or using the DREMEL exclusive EZ Speedclic sanding drum, for even faster band replacement.
Materials to use on
These bands can be used to sand / smooth softer materials like hardwood, softwood, plastic, fiberglass, aluminum but also for rust removal of metal types, like steel. Can shape rubber surfaces

After a brief retirement from his career as an engineering designer, Albert Dremel grew restless and founded Dremel Manufacturing Co. in Racine, in 1932.
