Flat File Sanding Stick With Replaceable Abrasive Strips For Sanding Shaped Objects on Wood and Some Metal. Ideal For Woodworking, Furniture, Restoration, Cabinets, or Automotive Use

This product was purchased to aid in the construction of cub scout projects (space derby, pinewood derby, etc. ). My kids needed a safe way to sand their projects, so I came up with this. This idea is fantastic because it is safer than powered alternatives, as well as being simple to use, cost-effective (due to the ability to use cut sandpaper strips), and flexible (again, the ability to use multiple grit levels at various stages). br>br>Unfortunately for us, it fails in real-world applications. When applying force, the sandpaper does not hold taut enough.

Files are used for a variety of tasks in decorative metal work, ranging from coarse shaping to the most delicate refinements. Steel files, which come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and cuts, have long been a staple of toolboxes for everyone from the beginning student to the master artisan. There's nothing quite like finding the perfect file for the job. br>br>However, the best files are pricey (not the same thing, but ask your hairdresser how much scissors cost). ) Good file sets are more expensive; this tool does not replace such treasures, but it does provide affordable versatility across a large portion of the range. Despite the fact that the tool's body is made of plastic rather than steel, the abrasive surface is the real tool. This abrasive, unlike shaped and hardened file surfaces, is a low-cost sandpaper or wet-dry abrasive. grits ranging from 100 (or coarser) to 2000 (or much finer) grits, dry True, the working surface is not as durable as hardened steel, but it can be replaced. And you can use any grit you want, while your two cut files will always be two - Alternatively, wait until it becomes dull. If you're a master machinist, you've probably long since snorted and walked away. However, I am a budget-conscious handyman/hobbyist. For me, the versatility of being able to replace the cutting surface with whatever you want appeals greatly, and it helps me save money for the next real file that I believe will be worth the effort because of a special moment in a special project. br>br>- wiredweird is a website dedicated to the strangeness of the internet.

This is exactly the kind of tool I'm looking for. I like how big it is and how easily I can change the sandpaper. The surface isn't flat, which is where it falls short. In the mold, the plastic shrinks, resulting in a dished-in surface. To smooth things out, I used several layers of blue painters tape in narrowing strips. The provided strips are a little too short to hold up in the shaky clamp. It helped if I sanded 1/8" off the plastic blade's end.

It is extremely simple to operate. I used to spend a lot of time with messi glue making sanding sticks, but now I don't have to!.

As a wood carver, I keep a variety of sanding tools on hand, and this one is particularly useful when a flat sanding surface is required in tight crevices. Strips that are simple to use and change, as well as being inexpensive and providing good value for money.

Extra sandpaper strips are included, but you can cut your own and use any grade sandpaper.

I had a difficult sanding job ahead of me. The sand paper stays clipped at the bottom but slides off at the top, requiring constant repositioning. I was able to make it work for my purposes, but the product design could be better.
