86 mm grit 180 abrasive roll for Jet drum sanders JWDS-1836 – Length 25 m

This 86 mm wide grit 180 abrasive roll is specially designed for Jet drum sanders using narrow abrasive strips wrapped around sanding drums. Thanks to its specific 86 mm width, this abrasive ensures perfect compatibility with Jet machine fixing systems and excellent holding during operation.

This grit is particularly used for:

• solid wood;
• tabletops;
• panels;
• MDF;
• joinery parts;
• and cabinetmaking components.

Why use 86 mm abrasive strips on Jet drum sanders?

Jet drum sanders specifically require abrasive strips with a 86 mm width. Unlike other machines using 77 mm strips, Jet drum fixing systems and drum dimensions are specifically designed for this width.

Using abrasive strips that are too wide may cause:

• insertion difficulties;
• poor drum alignment;
• overlapping during winding;
• vibrations;
• incorrect strip tension;
• or premature abrasive wear.

Using the correct 86 mm width guarantees optimal machine operation and excellent sanding quality.

Tapered end cutting required before use

Before installation on the machine, it will be necessary to make a tapered cut at each end of the abrasive strip.

This cut consists of shaping the strip end into a tapered or pointed form in order to allow proper insertion into the sanding drum fixing system.

This specific shape is essential to:

• facilitate insertion into the drum clamps;
• avoid excessive thickness during winding;
• improve strip alignment;
• reduce vibrations;
• and ensure even tension during operation.

The cut can easily be made using:

• a utility knife;
• a metal ruler;
• or heavy-duty scissors suitable for cloth-backed abrasives.

Compatible with Jet drum sanders

This grit 180 abrasive roll for Jet drum sanders is compatible with the following machines:

• JWDS-1836

Heavy-duty cloth backing

The cloth backing provides significantly greater mechanical resistance than traditional paper abrasives. It offers:

• excellent tension resistance;
• better heat resistance;
• greater flexibility during winding;
• longer lifespan;
• and a significant reduction in tearing risks.

This type of abrasive is perfectly suited to the demanding conditions generated by drum sanding machines.
