Great Power Sanding Tip

[Daroc]

Hi,

Watching Dixie Biggs Relief Carving Pt 1-2 youtube.
Great tip - take a Dremel or any screw mandrel remove screw.
Get Scotch Double sided foam tape and tape one side to sandpaper 180 grit or higher.
Then hole punch out a small disk and tape the other side to the top of the mandrel.

Thanks for the tip but doesn't Dremel make sanding drums for that purpose?

Not at the price of a sheets of sandpaper and double sided tape. The drums are cylinder and the pads are flat rounds.

Another way is get a a small nail that fits in your collet or chuck.
Hole punch the sandpaper a little bigger then the the nail head.
CA or even Elmer's glue and glue the sandpaper disk on the nail.
Galvanized roofing nails fit a 1/8" collet, and phosphate coated drywall nails fit 3/32" collet.

Don't forget to buy and use a crepe rubber stick to extend the life of the papers.
It will even suck shell dust out of a grind stone. Has saved me $$$hundreds in stones.

Yup, I've done that before (grind stones) RV. It works a treat!

I don't know what that is can you show pic? Or is that the rubber slab for cleaning the stones?

The soft rubber binds with wood fiber and seashell dust to restore the abrasive surface.

i keep the old velcro sanding arbors ya know when the velcro no longer sticks and cut them to whatever size and chuck them in the foredom

interesting - I'm a complete novice on my first objects but was struggling a bit with small spaces - adapting this thread gave me an idea.

Metal rod, cut groove, cut belt sander strip, insert into groove and use for small spaces. helping me a lot. Thanks to the original post

I was wrong the drywall nails might have a shaft of 3/32" but the point is wider - ditto on the roofing nails.

i keep the velcro things and then glue the sandpaper on it and use that until it abrades and then repeat
