Step 1: Mount the Sanding Disc to the Mandrel Option A: Standard Screw Mandrel (402) Our 125mm sanding discs are designed for wet and dry sanding applications. To attach to a standard screw mandrel, align the disc with the mandrel's screw thread. Twist the disc clockwise until it is firmly secured. Ensure the disc is centred to avoid wobble during operation, which can lead to uneven sanding and premature wear. These discs are hook and loop, so they will adhere securely to a compatible backing pad on your mandrel. Option B: EZ Lock Mandrel (EZ402) For an EZ Lock mandrel, first ensure your 125mm sanding disc is compatible with this quick-change system. Many hook and loop sanding discs are designed for easy attachment. Slide the disc onto the EZ Lock mandrel's post until it clicks into place. This method allows for rapid disc changes, which is useful when moving between the various 1000 to 5000 grit options in this 24-piece set, from finer finishing to ultra-fine polishing. Step 2: Insert the Mandrel into Your Dremel Once the 125mm sanding disc is securely mounted on the mandrel, insert the mandrel shank into your Dremel or other rotary tool's collet. Tighten the collet nut firmly with the collet wrench to prevent the mandrel from slipping during use. Ensure the tool is unplugged or the battery removed before inserting or changing accessories. For wet and dry sanding, confirm your Dremel is rated for wet applications if you plan to use water. Step 3: Best Practices for Sanding When using these 1000-5000 grit wet and dry sanding discs, always start with the coarser grit required for your task, progressing to finer grits. For example, begin with 1000 grit to remove minor imperfections, then move to 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, and finally 5000 grit for a smooth, polished finish. Apply light, even pressure and use a consistent speed to avoid swirl marks. The lifespan of a sanding disc varies, but changing discs when they show signs of wear or reduced effectiveness will ensure optimal results. Consider using a random orbital motion if your tool allows.
