Abrasive belt for 457 mm drum sander – Abrasive roll for Jet JWDS-1836

This abrasive belt for 457 mm drum sanders is specially designed for the Jet JWDS-1836 drum sander. Supplied as an abrasive roll, it allows users to produce abrasive strips perfectly suited to the sanding drum of this machine.

The Jet JWDS-1836 specifically requires abrasive strips with a width of 86 mm. This specific width is essential to ensure proper drum wrapping, correct tension and optimal machine operation.

Why use 86 mm abrasive strips on the Jet JWDS-1836?

Unlike other drum sanders using different widths such as 75 mm or 77 mm, the Jet JWDS-1836 is specifically designed to operate with 86 mm wide abrasive strips.

Using the wrong width may cause:

• difficulties inserting the abrasive into the drum clamps;
• poor abrasive strip alignment;
• overlapping during winding;
• significant vibrations;
• incorrect abrasive tension;
• or premature abrasive wear.

Using the correct width guarantees excellent holding on the drum and consistent sanding quality.

Heavy-duty cloth-backed abrasive

This cloth-backed abrasive roll is designed to withstand the heavy mechanical stresses generated by drum sanding machines.

The cloth backing provides:

• excellent tension resistance;
• better heat resistance;
• high flexibility during winding;
• improved tear resistance;
• and a significantly longer lifespan compared to standard paper abrasives.

This type of abrasive is especially popular for intensive sanding and calibration work on solid wood, panels, MDF and cabinetmaking components.

Tapered end cutting required

Before installation on the machine, it is necessary to make a tapered cut at both ends of the abrasive strip.

This cut allows:

• easier insertion into the drum fixing system;
• prevention of excessive thickness during winding;
• improved strip alignment;
• reduced vibrations;
• and even tension during operation.

The cut can easily be made using a utility knife and a metal ruler.

Ideal for wood calibration and finishing

This abrasive belt for the Jet JWDS-1836 is perfectly suited for:

• solid wood calibration;
• panel sanding;
• surface preparation before finishing;
• tabletop production;
• cabinetmaking work;
• and general woodworking applications.

Available in different grits, this abrasive is suitable for both rough sanding and fine finishing work on wood.
