Product Description of the Steel Mandrel (For Cartridge Rolls) 6mm Shank, 1/Pack
Cartridge rolls are excellent for getting into small spaces, intricate areas and inside surfaces and corners where other abrasive shapes can’t reach. The abrasive cloth is rolled and glued to form a solid shape with abrasive grain on all sides. As the products are used, the grain fractures during use and reveals the next layer of abrasive, continually renewing the cutting edge.
Typically, cartridge rolls are used on high-speed air grinders mounted on a mandrel for flash removal, polishing, or removing machine tool marks, edge breaking and dressing fillet weld seams on metal structures. High speed air grinders are compact and lightweight for using mandrel-mounted abrasives, allowing better control than larger die grinders; they’re a ‘must’ for any detail work on small parts.
Cartridge and spiral rolls perform best at a recommended speed of 6-9 m/s to optimise stock removal and surface finish whilst avoiding thermal load of the workpiece and tool wear.
