WOW those 3M discs are sweet I tried my Large ones that I use when I am Powder coating and It worked great. I am going to order some for the Dremal to get the small stuff. OH yeah did I mention I have Sanding hahaha.

lilskip, drimel makes sanding wheels that are plastic that are different grit and work great except they don't last long. And at $8 a piece I can't afford them. I've been doing some golf course signs that have a woodgrain background with alot of fuzz, and bought about 5 different sanders to get in between the groves, what I found out is I had the right tool from a drimel pack all the time. The fine wire wheel works great. I have a roto zip with a flex shaft, used the wire wheel and put the rpm at 15000, and it works as good as anything I have found yet and it hasn't worn out in 10 signs whereas the dremel sanding wheels lasted about 1 1/2 signs. But I haven't spent the $30 for a mop so I'm lost there.
Love to Make the sawdust, But I sure Hate to clean it up.
U can't find Success unless you have the patience to hang around long enough to find it!!!!

I just bought my Carvewright and made several trial patterns. The projects are rough I went to Woodcraft to get a sanding mop and they sold me a sanding star 220 grit. Will this work or do I need something else?
Use 'em if you got 'em. I'm a fan of the 3M Radial Bristle disks,the 2" size is my favorite @ 220 grit. go see Otto Frei.
