Value Collection PM-832 Cross Square Pad Mandrel 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PM-832 is a cross/square pad mandrel designed to mount abrasive sanding pads to rotary tools and die grinders. Threaded at 8-32 and measuring 3 inches in length with a 1/4 inch shank diameter, it provides a secure, centered connection between the tool spindle and pad. Machinists, fabricators, and surface prep technicians use this mandrel when working with cross or square backing pads on finish grinding, deburring, or surface conditioning tasks. The 8-32 thread size is a standard specification that mates with a wide range of compatible sanding and polishing pads.

This mandrel is suited for use in machine shops, metal fabrication environments, and general maintenance applications where rotary abrasive work is performed. It fits into standard 1/4 inch collets on die grinders, rotary tools, and drill chucks, making it a versatile holder for cross and square pad accessories. The compact form factor and standard thread make it a straightforward replacement or spare for production and jobsite use alike.
