TYPES OF ACCESSORIES
Sanding Bands
These small drum sanders help you shape
and smooth surfaces in tight places.
Replace bands when they become worn.
Bands come in fine grades for finish
and delicate work and coarse grades for
heavier work. Sanding bands work best at
lower speeds. Experiment with scrap mate-
rial before working on an actual project. To
use a sanding band, loosen the screw in
the shank, slip the band onto the shank,
then tighten the screw to secure the band.
Brushes
Wire brushes are useful for clean-
ing and polishing metal, while bristle
brushes are suitable for cleaning softer
surfaces. As with all rotary tool acces-
sories, you should let the speed do
the work without applying excessive
force. Use the bristle tips only without
mashing the brush against the work
piece as shown in the top part of the
illustration on the right.
Your rotary tool may be used with the following accessories:
