    Hey MT
    Maybe there are too many CW users to handle the supply and demand of the disc, since they are so popular. (smile)
    Using Designer 1.187, STL importer, Center line, conforming vectors, scanning probe/PE, and the ROCK chuck.

    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.

    Default sanding

    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.
