Primarily used for cleaning and finishing airplane seat track channels, the 3M™ Roloc™ TS & TSM Mandrel is a tool attachment that secures a ¾ in (1.91 cm) diameter 3M™ Roloc™ TS- or TSM-style disc to a die grinder or disc sander. The mandrel is ¼ in (0.64 cm) in diameter and extends 2 in (5.08 cm), enabling access to hard-to-reach channel recesses.
Airplane seat tracks are the hard-working metal components that run the length of the fuselage of an airplane and secure cargo and interior assemblies. Using this 3M™ Mandrel, 3M™ Roloc™ Discs, and a power tool, operators can access small diameters and intricate spaces of seat track channels in order to polish them to specification. The Roloc™ Quick Attachment System enables operators to quickly switch abrasive disc products. This mandrel accepts both TSM and TS quick change discs. The 3M™ Roloc™ TSM Quick Change Attachment is designed with an asymmetrical metal hub that requires just a short twist to securely lock components in place. The 3M™ Roloc™ TS Quick Change mechanism utilizes a screw-on type fastener and is equally quick and secure. They attach with a simple twist-off, twist-on motion. No tools are needed, and this quick and convenient attachment method saves operators time when assembling tools and accessories.
