Wolfheads are sanding apparatti that are used in several sanding applications but primarily for wood sanding. For metal sanding they are usually just used to apply a desired scratch pattern in already prepared piece. For wood they are primarily used to sand the profile on trim and raised panel cabinet doors. The advantage is that the sandpaper conforms to the profile via the slashes cut at every 1/4" or every 1/8". It is a whirling ball of death that spins at a prescribed speed of 1800 rpm. It requires at least a 1 horse motor to power it. It needs a stable mount which allows it to run with a steady centrifical motion that allows the operator to feed the wood thru it at whatever speed they desire. There are two basic models. The 16 brush and 32 brush models. It just means that the head either holds 16 strips of sandpaper or 32. The loadings that fit into them generally come either 1", 2" ,4" or 6" wide and the standard length is 19 3/8". 16" of which would be usable sandpaper. They are slashed at every 1/4" or 1/8" depending on how intricate the profile is that youre sanding. This machine is for experienced commercial sanders and youre satisfaction is-as always-guaranteed.
