Sorry they are all sold out. I tried to buy one and they were already gone.
I make my own, the same style as they have but I make mine smaller to fit a dremel, they work great.

Hey Namesake,
Do you just buy a sanding role(cloth) from Harbor Freight and cut it up real small for your dremmel? Maybe use an exacto knife? I might have to try that cause the sanding bristles from Otto Frei are great, but the cost can add up. Only thing I've noticed when I make a sanding mop with a sandpaper roll that I buy at harbor freight is that it makes a lot of "cloth dust" everywhere when I use it (with my drill press) to sand bigger plaques. I works fine, just alot of cloth dust from the roll that I use. Any recommendations?

I use the sanding bristle brushes from McMaster. Still not cheap but cheaper than any others I have found. Works great for details, just takes time.

JerryB, For my dremmel, I just use emery cloth, cut it up into thin strips about 2" long using an old paper cutter, stack them and drill a hole in the center of the stack, I usually cut from the non-sanding side and also drill from that side too. When I assemble them I flip every other one. If you make a large one for the drill press like they show at woodpeck.com then just use an exacto knife and cut the squares like shown in the picture there. Yeah, always get a lot of cloth dust, especially at first till they wear down a bit.

Jerry - how much use do you get out of the mops you make? I'm using the bristle disks as well - the best thing I've found, but they are pricey.

I make my own 6 inch mops. I alternate about 24 pieces. Then as it wears I just cut about 8 more strips and add those. It sort of refreshed them. Just look for a roll of sandpaper cloth backed and cut a notch and then rip the rest of the way. Somewhere someone put instructions online and once I find those I will post the link. Also if you have a scroll saw you can make Sanding strips for those too. Cut 4in by 1/2 in wide strips, fold in half and now you have converted your scroll saw into a scroll sander. That's what I do because I cut everything out by hand so getting the edges are a lot easier with that setup.

Any recommendations on where to get the emory cloth sand paper. The woodpeck.com site is all sold out. Seems like someone might have mentioned that they use the wall "patch screen" material and cut that up as well. Seems awful stiff to me although I might try it just to see how it does.

JerryB, try Home Depot plumbing dept. or Harbor Freight or your local (ACE, etc.) hardware stores. HF will probably be the cheaper option and they have either rolls or different grit sheets. Click HERE for online HF if you don't have one near by. Hope this helps.
