Running at up to 12,000 RPM, this 1.5-inch diameter by 1-inch wide band delivers consistent coarse-grade cutting action across wood, metal, and composite materials. The spiral-wound construction allows the band to expand slightly under load, maintaining continuous abrasive contact. At 50 grit, it is suited for rapid stock removal and surface shaping before finishing passes. Installation requires a compatible rubber expansion drum mandrel sized to match the 1.5-inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spiral band is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication, and general maintenance applications where shaped or inside-curve sanding is required. It mounts on a rubber drum mandrel and is driven by a drill press, lathe, or portable rotary tool. Common tasks include deburring, contour shaping, and cleaning up weld areas or cast edges. The coarse 50-grit rating makes it particularly effective for initial shaping and aggressive material removal where finish quality is a secondary concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum oxide abrasive material for consistent cutting on wood, metal, and composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50 grit coarse grade for rapid stock removal and aggressive surface shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum operating speed of 12,000 RPM for use with standard rotary equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch diameter by 1-inch wide format fits standard rubber expansion drum mandrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoated abrasive construction maintains grain exposure throughout the band life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with rubber expansion drum mandrels sized to accept a 1.5-inch diameter spiral band, compatible with drill presses, lathes, and rotary tools rated up to 12,000 RPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed or experienced technician should confirm the mandrel diameter matches the band before installation. Power down and lock out the tool before mounting or removing the band. Do not exceed the 12,000 RPM maximum rated speed marked for this abrasive.
