Pneumatic Drum and Flap Sander
The drum and the flap wheel attachment mount
onto the mandrel provided. See Figure 14 for
proper installation.
1. First slide the flap wheel over the end of the
mandrel and position it against the
machined land.
2. The drum sander screws onto the threaded
end of the mandrel. Remember both the
mandrel and the spindle are left-hand
threads. The drum sander should be inflat-
ed to approximately 10 PSI using a bicycle
pump or other low pressure inflation device.
Do not over-inflate.
Spur Center

The G1495 is supplied with a #2 Morse taper four
tine spur center for use when turning. The spur
center is used in conjunction with the tailstock live
center. Install the spur center by inserting into the
hole in the inboard spindle. Figure 15. See
Section 5: Operations, Spindle Turning section for
complete detail on how to properly seat the spur
center.
To remove, insert the knockout bar provided into
the outboard spindle and tap with the palm of
your hand while carefully holding onto the spur
center with your other hand. Figure 16.

NOTICE
Do not use a compressor to inflate the
pneumatic sanding drum, it is too easy to
over-inflate. Use a hand-operated pump
only, and check the inflation pressure with a
suitable gauge.
3. These attachments must both be mounted
on the spindle at the same time, regardless
of whether both will be used. The flap
sander attachment helps to provide rigidity
to the mandrel and drum sander when they
are installed together.
