Value Collection PM-1420 Cross Square Pad Mandrel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PM-1420 is a cross/square pad mandrel designed to hold abrasive pads and flap wheels during surface finishing, deburring, and blending operations. It measures 3 inches in length with a 1/4 inch shank diameter and features a 1/4-20 inch thread for secure pad attachment. This type of mandrel is installed in a rotary tool, die grinder, or drill press and is commonly used by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and HVAC sheet metal workers who need a reliable drive interface for abrasive accessories on metal, plastic, or composite surfaces.

The PM-1420 suits light to medium surface preparation tasks in both shop and field settings. It is well suited for use in tight spaces where a compact mandrel with a standard 1/4-20 thread is required. Cross/square pad mandrels accept a wide range of abrasive pad types, making this a versatile component for surface conditioning, rust removal, and weld blending on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical applications include HVAC ductwork prep, plumbing fitting cleanup, and general metal fabrication.
