Description:
The Covington 8" Expandable Drum Unit is a powered sanding and shaping unit built around an expandable drum that accepts sanding belts and expands to hold them firmly during use. This style of unit is designed to give you a controllable, consistent sanding surface for coldworking tasks where you want even material removal and clean, repeatable results.
In a glass studio, an expandable drum unit is most often used at the coldworking bench for shaping and smoothing glass after cutting, grinding, or kilnwork. It is especially useful when you need to true an edge, refine a contour, or clean up a surface before moving on to finer abrasives and polishing steps.
How it is used:
This unit is used by running the motor and bringing the glass to the rotating expandable drum with steady, even pressure. In practice, you use it to:
- Shape and true edges on glass components during coldworking
- Smooth and refine contours on pieces coming off a saw or grinder
- Prepare surfaces for the next finishing stage by removing tool marks with an appropriate sanding belt
Because it is a powered abrasive tool, it is typically used with proper eye protection and dust control appropriate to your shop setup.
