Mandrel Bit for Sanding Caps

The mandrel bit for sanding caps is a stainless steel carrier for sanding caps. You slip a replaceable cap onto it, fit the whole thing in the e-file chuck and get to work; when a cap wears out, you simply swap it for a new one. You can find caps in different grits and pack sizes in the category sanding caps for mandrels.

Mandrel for sanding caps – key features

• Type: an accessory for working with replaceable sanding caps.
• Material: stainless steel.
• Fitting the caps: quick and easy application of sanding caps.
• Stability: keeps the carrier perfectly in place.
• Balance: excellent – vibration-free work.
• Shank size: 2.35 mm (3/32 inch) – fits all the most popular e-files.

Excellent balance matters a great deal for comfort at work. A tool that doesn’t vibrate is easier to guide precisely along the side walls and the edges of the nail plate, so you can concentrate on the service itself.

How to use the mandrel bit with sanding caps

• Before the nail set, check that the mandrel is clean and sterilised.
• Slip the cap onto the head and make sure it sits firmly.
• Fit the bit in the e-file chuck and set the speed to 1/4 of the e-file’s power
• Work with light pressure – the surface of the cap does the job without pressing down.
• When the cap wears out or the nail set is finished, take the cap off.

The dust created while shaping the nail plate will be reduced by the Studio Air nail dust collector.

Benefits of working with replaceable sanding caps

Working with replaceable sanding caps keeps your nail desk tidy: instead of many bits you have one metal piece and a stock of caps. Quick fitting lets you change the grit mid-service – just take one cap off and put another on. With single-use caps every client gets a new cap, which makes it easier to maintain hygiene.

Stainless steel is a material that is easy to keep clean between appointments. Holding the caps perfectly in place means the cap doesn’t slip off while you work and you stay in control of the movement – including when working gently around the side walls.

Which sanding caps fit this model?

The variants of this product are sanding caps for mandrels in 160 and 260 grit, in packs of 10. A higher number means a finer grit and gentler work, and larger packs are available in the caps category. If you work with mini caps, choose the Mini Mandrel bit for sanding caps – the smaller sibling of the classic model, also made of stainless steel.
