A lot of people have asked what the stuff he used is. The first layer is PARCHMENT PAPER or WAX / BUTCHERS PAPER. It's used for food prep / storage. It's just a waxed paper that epoxy doesn't stick too, so it doesn't get glued to the wooden dowel. After he puts wax paper, he wraps a layer of card stock. Think construction paper or thick paper used for craft projects, another user said 300 weight. Then strips of sandpaper. He epoxies the craft paper as a backer for the sandpaper (looks to be a cloth backed sanding belt for like bench belt sanders).
It's no trick, it's how the actually make these. Difference is, they make them on huge mandrills thus reducing the cost immensely so they can then sucker you out of your hard earned dollars by overpricing them to the max. Dremel's junk is prolly less than a dollar per foot of these.
nice 1 mate. brought myself a spindle sander the other week but the damn thing didn't come with the sanding sleeves. just spent 50 bucks for about 10. ill try this before i blow more money on sleeves again, cheers
No problem man. I really get inspired by the way you think outside of the box. I like to think that I'm like that, but I obviously need to work on it after seeing your vids. Thanks again =]
you can also make cutting disks from large ones and your own polishing disks from cloth, they're very easy to make, the specialty tools are very expensive but you can make them almost for free
This is great, thank you! MCO, It was mentioned this was done after making up some Micarta, so my guess is the material under the abrasive belt is canvas. That is what the backing on many abrasive belts/drums use, both for the tear resistance and the traction against the drive.
Making miniature sandpaper is fantastic. It's wonderful. But I have a question. There was a pipe before the sandpaper was washed. What is the name of the material?
Thank you for ur explianed. But what kind of glue or aboxiy using with' red strong paper' thats is very important. And what diameter size of Stick stamp? Redardes my friend
Brilliant! I've always just superglued a small strip of w/e grit sandpaper I wanted to use around a worn out drum. Couple questions if ya don't mind.. What was the diameter of the rod you used? Also, was that contruction paper you used for the lining? Thanks for sharing :)
Geko on Crete Very cool, thanks :) And like John asked, is it pretty much the same thickness as constuction paper? I'm not sure what A3 is... but "constuction paper" (as it's called in the states at least) is just a bit thicker (than printer paper) craft paper that comes in various colors. Maybe it's not that big of a deal though. :) Thanks again
Great Job, its always good to find people thinking outside the box, this drums are expensive, have you thought on how to build the ones that have a lot of sanding strips around an inch circle?, thanks
A watched a video of someone else making drums by gluing the sandpaper to a dowel, and I thought this paper wrapping method might be better. Isn't some epoxy glue heat sensitive though? Those sanding drums can really heat up in use.
I tried to glue the sandpaper to a thin cardboard paper, but it does not seem to stick very well. When I turn on the dremel, the sandpaper separates from the cardboard. What type of epoxy are you using? Your base paper is it rubberized?
+Gleison Storto hi, its ordenary cardboard that i use. the epoxy is a thin and slow drying 2 component one. are you sure that your cardboard was soacked good with the epoxy? and that you let it dry long enough? cheers, geko
anybody know what diameter rod was used? Was it just a certain size of rebar? I need to sand some beveled edges on some kitchen cabinets. Thanks! David
I see but still.hpw first looked like parchment paper then.the red.was one sandpaper but WHY wasn't the red paper covered with the resin.then the blue was the different grit right could you email.me the idea is it cost effective
+Hardik Gandhi whit epoxy to make micarta you can use all papers i even recmend you to use cloth that absorve more epoxy sersh for micarta so you can se how this stuff worck
Thanx Dogs! Guess it would have nice for Geko to tell it all about the process... but was more interested in breaking our ears out with dumb endless music.. huh!

Dude.... Im pretty hard to impress, but that is just amazing.

You sir, are a genius. I can't believe how much those little sanding drums cost...I never considered making them...

Making miniature sandpaper is fantastic. It's wonderful. But I have a question. There was a pipe before the sandpaper was washed. What is the name of the material?
What kind of saw blade did you use to cut them?
what was the white papery stuff you wrapped before the red paper
brilliant!
Wow amazing.
But what about the materials?
Thank you for your wonderful video, but I would like to explain step for step preocess of construction.
What kind of two part epoxy was used?
Thank you for ur explianed.
But what kind of glue or aboxiy using with' red strong paper' thats is very important. And what diameter size of Stick stamp?
Redardes my friend
Excellent idea.
Malsoon Sakit thx, buddy
BRILLIANT!
Brilliant! I've always just superglued a small strip of w/e grit sandpaper I wanted to use around a worn out drum. Couple questions if ya don't mind.. What was the diameter of the rod you used? Also, was that contruction paper you used for the lining? Thanks for sharing :)
the rod is 12mm.
the paper is some simple hobby-store stuff. you get them in A3 for 1€ a sheet.
its the same paper i use for my micarta.
cheers, geko
Geko on Crete super cool. Thankd for sharing. What type (weight) of paper is it?
Cool music too!
Geko on Crete Very cool, thanks :) And like John asked, is it pretty much the same thickness as constuction paper? I'm not sure what A3 is... but "constuction paper" (as it's called in the states at least) is just a bit thicker (than printer paper) craft paper that comes in various colors. Maybe it's not that big of a deal though. :) Thanks again

whats best angle to roll sand cloth?
hh nice idea ^^
But what about materiel ??
is that normale red paper ??
Very, very good idea.....
Anybody made a price comparison to ready-made ones?
A watched a video of someone else making drums by gluing the sandpaper to a dowel, and I thought this paper wrapping method might be better. Isn't some epoxy glue heat sensitive though? Those sanding drums can really heat up in use.
Way better than the dowel plan
very ingenious

Please give an explanation of what you used to make these sanding drums!
anybody know what diameter rod was used? Was it just a certain size of rebar? I need to sand some beveled edges on some kitchen cabinets. Thanks!

+David Knowles
you just need to measure your dremel tool.
or an old drum.
Great idea, nice video. What do you use as the red base material ?
its strong paper. simple hobby-store stuff. you get them in A3 for 1€ a sheet.
its the same stuff that i use for my micarta.
cheers, geko
great music
I see but still.hpw first looked like parchment paper then.the red.was one sandpaper but WHY wasn't the red paper covered with the resin.then the blue was the different grit right could you email.me the idea is it cost effective

+Charless Hunt
its ordenary cardboard that i use.
i tryed but as soon as i turned it on it came apart... but i did not use epoxy i used a glue
Got to give this a try. Did you use pva glue or something else?
i use 2 component epoxy resin. its the left over resin after making micarta.
cheers, geko
excellent :))
I used a white protector tube from a close hanger same diameter as the mandrel www.pinterest.com/pin/157344580708583965/
awesome
top job
I would like to build a bigger drum as well
Song name?
good
thank you friend.
have a nice day.
Φίλε μου αν θέλεις πες μου το μικρό σου όνομα.Το κόκκινο κάτω από το δμυριδοπανο, τι υλικό είναι.
Finding a rod the correct diameter to do this is the only hard part I would think. Anyone else know?
random idea, dead printers have a few long metal rods in them, some ~4mm wide some 1cm wide.
I just use spray on loctite and maybe scareboard tape or sand paper.
music please :) ?
CAN ANYONE PLEASE SUGGEST THE PAPERS??
WHITE PAPER - WAX PAPER
RED PAPER - ?
GREENPAPER - DEERFOS ABRASIVE BELT.
