I'm finally attaching the spindle sander attachment. It comes with 3 different size rubber sanding drums. First off, my question is legitimate one and not a joke.
The spindle is in place. I started to put one of the drums on the spindle, got it half way down the spindle noting how tight it was to push down, told myself to stop and take it off now, in case after it's all the way down I can't get it back off. It still took an effort to get it off as well.
After the drum goes on there is a large washer and bolt that threads into the top of the spindle to lock the drum on and squeeze the drum sides against the sanding sleeve to hold it in place.
My question is it would it work to spray a little wd40 or similar onto the spindle to make the drum easier to get on and off when finished with it or switching drums?
