Foredom Mandrel 1/8 & 1/8

Description:

Mandrel 1/8 & 1/8 is a robust dental rotary mandrel built for mounting medium to large abrasive or polishing wheels that use a 1/8-inch attachment interface. With both a 1/8-inch shank and a compatible 1/8-inch screw or arbor system, this mandrel is commonly used in dental laboratories where more substantial polishing wheels, buffs, and discs are required. The design supports heavy-duty shaping, deburring, adjusting, and polishing tasks on materials such as acrylic denture bases, partial denture frameworks, casting alloys, and orthodontic appliances. The mandrel�s sturdy metal construction ensures it withstands the rigorous forces associated with adjusting large dental components. Its secure retention system minimizes vibration, allowing technicians to maintain control during aggressive shaping or high-gloss polishing. Because of its balanced construction, it reduces handpiece strain, enabling smoother operation even during prolonged use. This mandrel is ideal for chairside adjustments to prosthetics as well, particularly when clinicians need to quickly modify dentures, reline surfaces, adjust borders, or polish repaired areas. The 1/8-inch shank is compatible with bench lathes, larger micromotors, and many laboratory handpieces, making it versatile for multiple workflow stages. In polishing applications, the mandrel supports muslin buffs, felt wheels, and coarse grinding discs used for smoothing rough surfaces before final finishing. Its dependable strength and secure screw mechanism make it an essential accessory for laboratories focused on producing high-quality prosthetic components with precise anatomical contours and smooth, comfortable surfaces.
