Hey guys,
Does anyone have any experience with mini belt sanders for hand finishing blades? I think they're 300mm x 10mm belts. Anyone here that's spent a few hours juggling little strips of sand paper on a sanding bar could agree that it's pretty much the worst part of knife making. There's nothing fun about it. I understand the tool wouldn't do it all, but it would at least maybe make getting the grinder marks out in 1/10th the time.
Does anyone know of an oscillating sander that mimics hand motion? Something that is like 1x3 inches, can hold any regular sand paper, and has a throw of an inch would be amazing. (machine shop idea anyone?). I've seen little triangular detail sanders, but the paper for them is specialized and not worth the hassle.
Thanks!
