True-running with no wobble or bounce, this high-quality drum delivers better control. Change belts in seconds for lapidary or metalworking tasks such as sprue removal and contour sanding.Angled expansion slots through the heavy rubber rim allow the drum to expand when rotated; thereby locking the belt in place. Belts can be quickly changed by stopping the machine, slipping of the old one and sliding on the new. In use, the resilient drum surface flexes to the gemstones contour to quickly remove grinding flats. The convex shaped drum provides the cutting action necessary to remove scratches. Sold without belt. The drum expands as the wheel rotates to hold the sanding belt firmly in place. The slightly harder-durometer rubber reduces cupping. Maximum recommended speed is 1800 RPM. CAUTION: Do not run the drum without belts in place as damage to the rubber rim may result.

It works somewhat
When correctly mounted the wheel does expand. Yet the minute the sand paper wheel gets wet it begins to clip. I fixed this by adding a number of large rubber bands between the wheel and the sandpaper. This adds enough grip to hold the paper in place.

Vibrates Violently. Does not run true.
Vibrates and shakes violently when rotating at speed. It's supplied with cheap plastic arbor rings that I believe are causing all the vibration but I cannot be certain. This will ruin your bench grinder shafts.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Out of round-NOT RECOMMENDED
I returned this after trying to run it only to find out that it's out of round, which causes a lot of vibration. Being out of round makes it impossible to put a part against it for any kind of sanding. The part literally bounces on/off the drum. The plastic bushings are also junk. The one for the 3/4" shaft was so tight that it split the bushing. This may have also contributed to the vibration/out of round issue. NOT RECOMMENDED.
