 Small sanders I recently watched a carver in action at a local wildfowl show. He used a small sander to sand his birds. I have never seen a sander similar to that. Does anyone here have information as to small hand sanders that are available.  |

| Re: Small sanders Hi Garry, could it have been this one? http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares...oduct&ID=81266 This merchant also carries alot of different micro sanding belts,ropes, and grits. Just click on Filing and Sanding on the left and then again on the Sanding catagory. I hope this helps. M. |

| Re: Small sanders Most all of the woodcarving shops sell small cushioned rotary drums for Dremels, Foredom, etc... The sizes vary from 1/4" up to 3/4 inch in diameter. I never go anywhere without these and my B&D Mouse.

I have heard from a number of contractors that they use the chicago electric brand all the time, it lasts as long as the expensive stuff but they pay 1/3 or less! I haven't tried any, my neighbor has and he likes them as well....guess its my turn
