Cdlong Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I went to a woodworking tool estate sale and one of the things I got was a set of drawers full of sandpaper and sanding supplies. All sorts of blocks, paper, edge contour thingys, all sorts of handy stuff. One of the things is a few of these little spools that look like a step bit made of 80 grit sand paper but without any spindle. Maybe 1 1/2" high and it looks to be all one piece in a big spiral. Any idea what this is? Is it missing pieces or is it a hand held thing? I didn't see a spindle in the box but maybe I missed it. I don't even know what to call it. Also attached a pic of the box, 10"or so wide for reference, $30 total, seemed like a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdlong Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Seems like I should have been able to come up with a name like that So it's just a drill attachment for shaping and getting in tight corners? I'll look for a spindle. These look straight, finding replacements might be a challenge, and also not necessary since I don't know what I'd use these for with the work that I do at the moment.

gee-dub Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Power carvers use them. I've seen turners use them too. Some just wind onto a spindle, some form over a cone shaped backer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
