2. The main characteristics of the product
• Versatile Grit Range
Our sanding bar rod features a comprehensive grit range, starting from 180 for aggressive material removal and leveling, all the way up to 2000 for fine polishing and finishing. This allows you to tackle different stages of your sanding project with a single tool. Whether you're smoothing out rough edges, preparing a surface for painting, or achieving a mirror-like finish, you can easily switch between the appropriate grits to get the desired result. The wide range of grits makes it suitable for a variety of applications, from furniture restoration to jewelry making.
• High-Quality Abrasive Material
The sandpaper used in our sanding bar rod is made from premium abrasive materials that are designed to provide long-lasting performance. The abrasives are evenly distributed and firmly bonded to the rod, ensuring consistent sanding action and preventing premature wear. This high-quality construction allows you to work efficiently without having to constantly replace the abrasive, saving you time and money in the long run. The abrasive material is also resistant to clogging, which is especially important when working with wet sanding applications.
• Precision 1/8'' Shank Design
The 1/8'' shank is specifically designed to fit securely into Dremel tools, ensuring a stable and wobble-free operation. This precise fit allows for greater control and accuracy during sanding, enabling you to reach tight corners and intricate details with ease. The shank is made from durable material that can withstand the rotational forces of the Dremel, ensuring a reliable connection between the tool and the sanding bar rod. Whether you're working on a small-scale project or a larger surface area, the 1/8'' shank provides the stability you need for precise sanding.
• Wet or Dry Sanding Capability
This sanding bar rod can be used for both wet and dry sanding applications, giving you added flexibility. Wet sanding is ideal for reducing the risk of scratches and heat buildup, especially when working with delicate materials or when aiming for a super-smooth finish. The rod's construction allows it to withstand the moisture and abrasion associated with wet sanding, ensuring its durability and performance. Dry sanding, on the other hand, is suitable for more aggressive material removal and initial surface preparation. You can easily switch between wet and dry sanding methods depending on your project requirements.

4. Product use instructions
1、Attaching to the Dremel Tool
Insert the 1/8'' shank of the sanding bar rod firmly into the collet of your Dremel tool. Make sure it is inserted all the way and tightened securely according to the Dremel's instructions. Check that the rod is properly aligned and does not wobble. If necessary, use the appropriate wrench or tool provided with your Dremel to ensure a tight fit.
2、Selecting the Right Grit
Depending on the task at hand, choose the appropriate grit of sandpaper on the sanding bar rod. For rough material removal or leveling, start with a lower grit such as 180. As you progress and want to achieve a smoother finish, gradually move up to higher grits like 800, 1200, or 2000. You can experiment with different grits on a small, inconspicuous area of the material first to see the effect and determine the best sequence for your project.
3、Wet Sanding Procedure
If you're using the sanding bar rod for wet sanding, soak the sandpaper in water or a suitable lubricant for a few minutes before use. This helps to reduce friction and prevent the sandpaper from clogging. Apply a small amount of the lubricant to the surface you're sanding as you work. Use a gentle, even pressure and move the Dremel in a smooth, continuous motion. Rinse the sandpaper and the surface regularly to remove any debris and maintain the effectiveness of the sanding action.
4、Dry Sanding Procedure
For dry sanding, simply attach the sanding bar rod to the Dremel and start sanding. Use a light to moderate pressure, depending on the material and the amount of material you need to remove. Keep the Dremel moving at a steady pace to avoid overheating or creating uneven surfaces. After sanding, use a brush or compressed air to remove any dust or debris from the surface and the sanding bar rod.
5、Maintenance and Storage
After each use, clean the sanding bar rod and the sandpaper to remove any residue or debris. If the sandpaper is worn or clogged, it can be replaced. Store the sanding bar rod in a dry, safe place, preferably in a case or holder to protect the shank and the abrasive surface. Regularly inspect the shank and the connection to the Dremel to ensure they are in good condition. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the sanding bar rod to ensure safe and efficient operation.
