One of the big advantages of the WASP sander is that you can choose from a wide variety of different drums to suit your work - all using the same standard belts that you can buy in any hardware shop. Choose a small diameter drum if you need to sand up into a tight corner - choose a bigger diameter for a larger radius curve. You can purchase an Accessories Kit for the WASP that contains 3 extra drums but workshop enthusiasts often prefer to make their own - here's how:-




You need a piece of scrap timber 100 mm long & some Bright Mild Steel Rod 85 mm long - 12 mm DIA is suitable but other sizes are OK.










Prepare your steel rod by filing a flat or a series of notches. This gives something for the adhesive to grip.



Drill a hole into your piece of wood to a depth of 50 mm. Use a drill size to give an easy fit. Too tight a fit will not allow enough adhesive in the joint.
