Drum Sanding
drum sanding is perfect for performing sanding
operations on edge contours.
use a soft sanding sleeve when sanding contours
with rounded or soft edges. a hard sleeve is desir-
able when the sanded edge is to be sharp.
Make sure the sanding sleeve is mounted on the
drum and sander so that the sleeve rotation and
spindle rotation match. the spindle will always
rotate toward the operator.

Flap Sanding
Figure 15 shows a typical drum sanding opera-
tion.
Flap sanding is useful for sanding rounded or
spherical shapes. With the flap sander mounted
on the left hand spindle, the abrasive side of the
sanding flaps will rotate toward the operator. it is
generally best to introduce the workpiece to the
bottom of the flap sander, as shown in
Figure 16,
for the best control of the sanding forces.
