Those wheels take these sanding rolls: www.kingsleynorth.com/skshop/product.php?id=46663&catID=815There should be a twist bolt on the other side of the wheel that you turn to open and close the vice that holds the sanding roll paper. Open the vice, put the paper in, close the vice and you should be all set to sand. Scott

It does look like a split drum. I've never seen one exactly like that. The old MDR brand I learned on had a lock nut you released and a screw you turned to tighten the paper. That one looks similar if the nut pictured is a lock nut. The slotted screw turns to tighten the paper. They are pretty awful to use but they work. When you use it you will see why they are called "bumpy wheels".

I've had a couple just like that. with that lever facing the center of your wheel, insert one end of your paper in the slot. Pull the paper as tight as you can around the wheel and slip the other end of the paper in the slot. Now rotate the lever towards the outside of the wheel to lock the paper in place. It's a camlock wheel. And John's right about bumpy wheel. You'll feel a definite bump for every rotation of the wheel as the slot passes by. They take a little getting used to if you're already used to smooth wheels.

Over the years I've accumulated probably too many wheels, including some "bumpy ones", and a big box of various grit SiC rolls cheap at a sale. I find them not objectional on our Star Diamond machine if I run it at high speed on the 3-step belt drive, this about 1150 R.P.M. Some of the rolls in the box are paper-backed, I use the bumpy wheel for dry cabbing pieces of wood that have nice knots or good pattern in them, on a different arbor.
