Shannon Banks Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I just learned about these and they seem AWESOME. Just wonder if anyone here has used one before. If you have, how do you like it and where's the best, least expensive place to buy one? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Scroller Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) http://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/fs36240/#.VdtbPiVVhBc http://www.seyco.com/category/accessories.html Refills available in various grits: https://www.woodworkingshop.com/search.aspx?q=sanding+mop Not sure about least expensive but they're available at Seyco and Klingspor for certain. A great little item to have. Edited August 24, 2015 by Southern Scroller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi crazycrafter. I love my sanding mop. It is great for quickly softening the edges of the puzzles I make. I made mine from a bolt with the head cut off and a couple of washers and lock nuts and strips of inch wide cloth backed abrasive.

bandaideman Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I have used one for a few years and they do last well. I am most likely start making my own cutting the strips and figure out best way to bore the center hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Guy Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Steve Good at Scrollsaw Workshop has a video on making one. His videos are on U Tube also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yup, I love my sanding mops! I have one in 120 grit and a 220 grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I find that the sanding mops I made only softened minor scratches. Did not round over edges at all. I no longer use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've made quite a few as i can never find them .I bought the last one from the big box store for a dremil and use it on my battery drill often!I made a wooden pattern which is easy to load the strips of cloth sandpaper rather than drill a hole like the other ones.It too is lost in my paper stacks.They are quite expensive.But easy to make.

DWSUDEKUM Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Shannon, i use 2 different mops. One is an old 220 grit 4" mob with the paper about worn completely - I use this for between coat sandings on a lot of my projects when I am finishing them. The second one still is a 220 grit 4" mop but it is much more aggressive when sanding. All in all a sanding mop is in my opinion an essential sander to have in the shop if you are going to do intricate fret, intarsia or segmentation. It is good for all around as well.

don in brooklin on Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I use a 6 inch all the time. I even bought a cheap drill press for $59 on sale so it would be available easily. I get from Stockroom supply. http://stockroomsupply.ca/shop/ ​ I have the cupped sanding drum and the minis and don't ever use. They come a demo at our club once and year and are great company to deal with. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have never used one. Sounds like something I want to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have the one from Kingspor and it is a good one. I intended to use it on portraits to remove the fuzzies from the back, and I have on a few less fragile ones. It worked good, but I am afraid to try it on more fragile ones. It would work good for fuzzy removal on the work art, and trivets and such. I have also thought it would be nice to have several with different grits on them. I do not like changing the refills. If I ever decide I can't get along without more, I will make my next ones using Steve Goods method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
