🔧 Accessories & Replacements

💡 Usage Tips
-
Loading the Sleeve: These sleeves typically slide over the drum and are secured with adhesive or a backing. Some users find it slightly fiddly but manageable.
-
Using with Rub Collar: Attach the collar to the top/bottom of the drum setup. When mounted on the shaper/router, the bearing runs against the template edge while the abrasive surface mills the workpiece to the desired geometry.
-
Safe Operating Speed: Maintain around 4,500 RPM to match tool specs and ensure even sanding—going too fast risks excessive heat or uneven wear.
