Good information. Had no idea there is a narrow drum available now. As a suggestion, a printable chart listing each drum with best uses out beside them would be nice to keep on the side of a toolbox.
If you check out any of the product pages for the drums there is a chart you could use for that purpose. Here's a link to one of the pages with the chart: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sct-narrow-finishing-wheel-80-grit.html
I've been trying to compare with the Makita wire brush for woodworking. I want to raise the grain of the wood and clean it. I don't see much online. Has it tested in the woodworking industry with good results?
For perfectly level body filler, we'd recommend hand-sanding in a cross-hatch pattern with a DuraBlock. If you're looking to speed the process up, stick with a DA Sander. The DA will sand in a random pattern. That helps to take some of the human error out of the equation.
Really seems like a good product. The consumables do seem pricey. How long do they last? How many abrasive wheels would it take to strip an average car?
The life of the drums will depend on the job your doing, if you are hitting edges they might wear down faster then if you were just doing flat panels. Heres a great video that shows the product managers at Eastwood stripping a truck with 2.5 black abrasive drums. ruclips.net/video/sXQ1N1aOSkE/видео.html
Can you PLEASE tell me what to start with to polish a 1968 airstream heavily oxidized! The 240 grit is not making a mirror finish like I have seen in videos.
The 240 will give you a brushed like appearance. What you are looking for is the buffing drums. STEP 1: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sct-buffing-drum.html STEP 2: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sctr-spiral-sewn-buff-drum.html Use with a liquid compound such as Eastwood Concours Fast Cutting Compound: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-concours-fast-cutting-compound.html
So for the record WHY would this tool be better than a grinder corded or cordless with a stripping disc ? Secondly your sander MADE IN CHINA 🇨🇳 as per eastwood . Harbor Freight is American made as per them . I am in the Automotive/Diesel industry 45 years . I want a real good explanation , why I would buy all the attachments at 45.00 dollars plus the tool (150.00 dollars ) when a stripping disc cost me 10.00 dollars a intermediary pad another 10 .00 dollars and 220 sanding disc for a prime ready finish ?

This thing is sweet. Do yourself a favor and buy one. Glad we did.
Excellent Video! Love my SCT, but had no idea all the Drums available now.
We have added a lot over the past year!
Nice. You need to make rubber drum/ wheel for adhesive removal.
Nice explanation of each.
Awesome video thank you

Man. I am using one to strip an old Bmw down to metal. I am no Hercules but it is heavy! Do one panel at a time and I’m done.
I let the weight of the SCT do the work.
Formula Firebird that’s fine for horizontal panels like hoods, roofs, and trunks. It’s the side of the car, fenders and doors. Gets heavy.
When are these products going to be available in Europe?
Whatever happened to the Cushman Scooter and Camaro restorations? I haven’t seen an update video on either project in a while.
That thing work very good I will like to use one ☝️ off that one day tell me the price 💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I have a 1/2 ton truck. Want to strip paint down to bare metal. What drums do you recommend for that? And how many of them will I need?
Which pad will sand body filler straight with the panel is the red drum good the finishing one good for sanding body filler.
For perfectly level body filler, we'd recommend hand-sanding in a cross-hatch pattern with a DuraBlock. If you're looking to speed the process up, stick with a DA Sander. The DA will sand in a random pattern. That helps to take some of the human error out of the equation.

A lot of variables affect the life of the drums, but for reference we've stripped an entire 1950s truck down to bare metal with two abrasive drums

Is there a drum available for safely removing paint from a fiberglass body such as a Chevy Corvette?
Which drum can I use to polish stone?
Sand belt driver available??
Den of tools.. made a video saying that these will fit on the Bauer also.... Is that correct?
We can only support The Original Contour SCT - as for knock off's your mileage may vary.

Use with a liquid compound such as Eastwood Concours Fast Cutting Compound: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-concours-fast-cutting-compound.html
What have you got for removing vinyl decals off of paint ?
The eraser wheel is what you're looking for.

can this be used on boats?
For sure! Just pick the right drum for your substrate.
Belt driver drum
Not for a C1 Corvette.. it’ll take off the fiberglass..
What is conditioning metal? That has no meaning and at low temperatures you can’t change anything about a metal.
