How to Attach Our Dremel Buffing Pads

We have been asked on several occasions how to attach our hand made buffing pads to the dremel or rotary tool so I've put together a mini-tutorial for you here.




These are all the parts you really need.  The mandrel #402 piece has a screw in the end with small washer between.    Remove the screw (keeping the washer on the screw) and attach like so:




Note: The little washer is between the screw
head and the buffing pad (it is hard to see).





That's all there is to it....  Happy buffing....

Thanks - this is perfect timing, as I just received my pads in the mail today.
I don't think my cordless Dremel came with a mandrel like that one, but perhaps I can find one at Home Depot.

Glad to hear you received your buffing pads. The mandrel is easy to find where ever they sell the dremel parts. Sometimes it is part of a grinding, sanding or cutting kit and you may have to buy the other pieces to go with it.

Thanks for posting this. This mandrel came with my Dremel but had a sanding disk on it and I didn't think about using it with the buffing pads. Not sure where my brain was hiding out that day.
