Jet Drum Sanders

[Scrums]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting one of the Jet Drum sanders - the abrasive loadings for the drum - do they have to be the specific Jet/Axminster ones or can they be any heavy duty paper/Cloth abrasive?

Chris.

Hi Scrums
They don't have to be any particular brand, but they DO have to be the right width. If they are wider or narrower than the kosher ones, you will end up with the end of it at the wrong point on the circumference of the end and therefore unable to clip it in place.

Grumble, grumble...
... gropes way downstairs without contact lenses in...
Grumble, grumble...
... unlocks back door and winces at the biting cold, takes life in hands negotiating lethal patio to workshop...
Grumble, grumble...

Grumble, grumble...
Gropes way to Jet sander (well it's a Performax actually, but I think it's the same. It had better be after all this)...
Grumble, grumble...
...finds abrasive roll, now where is my ruler? Cant find it as I haven't got etc, etc...
Grumble, grumble...
