Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start With the Sanding Job

Identify whether you need progression or focused material removal

Different sanding tasks call for different abrasive approaches. A refill kit with coarse, medium, and fine sleeves supports moving through multiple stages of sanding. Individual spiral bands provide specific grit choices for finishing and cleanup.

  • Use coarse, medium, and fine sleeves for staged sanding tasks.
  • Use 36 grit when a coarse sanding surface is needed for parting lines, imperfections, and burrs.
  • Use 60 grit for general-purpose material removal and surface cleanup.
Check Fit and Access

Choose a band size suited to the tool and work area

The refill kit is sized 3/4 in. x 1 in. and works with drum sanders for electric and cordless drills using a 1/4 in. shank. Spiral bands are available in 3/4 in. x 1 in. and 1 in. x 1 in. sizes. Compact bands can help reach contours, corners, and other restricted areas.

  • Confirm compatibility with the drum sander and drill setup.
  • Use the 3/4 in. x 1 in. refill size where that band size is required.
  • Consider 1 in. x 1 in. bands for curved, contoured, corner, and hard-to-reach areas.
Compare Construction and Quantity

Select the abrasive format that supports ongoing work

The listed bands use aluminum oxide abrasive. The refill sleeves have cloth backing to support the bonded grit, while spiral bands have spiral-wound construction and an inner liner that provides bonded backing for the coated abrasive band. Pack count can also affect how many bands are available for repeat shop tasks.

  • Aluminum oxide is used across the listed refill sleeves and spiral bands.
  • Spiral-wound construction supports smooth running for easier control.
  • Available spiral band packages contain 100 pieces.
