Are you struggling to achieve smooth finishes, polishes, and seamless welds on your workpieces? Do intricate parts present a challenge when navigating small corners and tight spaces? The 3M™ Forked Spindle is the solution to accessing these hard-to-reach areas, ensuring that no workpiece area goes unfinished.
Tips for Optimal UseUsing the 3M™ Forked Spindle is simple. It fastens to a die grinder or other rotary tool (sold separately) much like a mandrel. However, its design differs from a mandrel because it has a fork-shaped end. The forked spindle itself gets in, over, and around the workpiece instead of extending the reach of a disc like a mandrel.
As the spindle rotates, the coated abrasive strip attached to it also rotates. The rapid rotation of the coated abrasive strip and/or utility cloth helps clean and polish inner diameters and other tight areas. To attach the abrasive strip, operators need to cut it to size and slip it into the slot at the end of the spindle. Operators can choose the utility cloth strip that is best suited to their specific application, whether opting for a more aggressive abrasive with coarse-grade silicon carbide mineral or a softer abrasive with fine-grade aluminum oxide mineral. The 3M™ Forked Spindle has a slot width of 1/16" and slot length of ¾".
In the end, the 3M™ Forked Spindle was designed to help operators tackle tough areas and ensure that all details are accounted for, even the small ones.
