Like I guess most people I buy stuff off ebay, and having bought a dremel type tool I wanted some more sanding drums. Got some delivered, from China of course, and the first two did this so I won't be using any more!
Anyone got a decent supplier?

i use a drum sander fitted to my flexicable .havnt had a problem with them.

its getting the right grit and not putting to much pressure on it..There handy but try to do much with it it creates to much dust

I use them on my comfort crosses for final shaping after roughing out with knives. This recent batch were inconsistent sizes, quite thin and just wrong, so the lot went in the bin. I hear you regarding the dust

sounds if you had a poor quality batch

I use the drums and have 3 different dia. ones, I only use these for light sanding and make sure the the expansion screw on the shaft is tight, it helps, for heavier stock removal I use a duragrit drum ab saburr burrs.
