Things You Will Need
Dremel Rotary Tool
-
Choose the sanding attachment that is best suited to the project. Dremel offers three sanding attachments for its rotary tool: a sanding disk for flat surfaces; sanding bands for narrow surfaces, such as the edge of a piece of wood; and flapwheels, for sanding corners and right angles.
-
Hold the chuck key in your hand and insert the key into the chuck on the Dremel tool. Turn the key counterclockwise to open the chuck.
-
Insert the shaft of the sanding band drum, flapwheel or sanding disk into the chuck.
-
Reinsert the chuck key into the chuck and turn the key clockwise to tighten the chuck. This holds the sanding attachment in place.
Dremel Oscillating Tool
-
Insert the Dremel oscillating tool accessory key over the end of the accessory attachment nut on the shaft of the oscillating tool.
-
Twist the key counterclockwise to loosen the retaining nut. Remove the nut from the shaft of the tool.
-
Insert the Velcro-style hook and loop sanding pad over the shaft. Replace the retaining nut over the shaft. Tighten the nut, and sanding pad, in place with the key.
-
Press a piece of sandpaper, with its hook and loop back, onto the sanding pad with your fingers.
