Rockytime Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 There has been discussion in the past about flap wheels. a specific brand was mentioned. What was it? What other things do you use. I have belt sanders, Dremels, Foredoms, palm sanders and sandpaper. Just wondering what others are using.

hawkeye10 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Rocky I think this is what you might be thinking about but for the life of me I can't think what the name of it is. Maybe it will come to me. I really like them no matter what you call it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 The picture shows a Mac Mop. Klingspor also sells the sanding mop. They both work a bit different and the Mac Mop works good on more delicate things. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that picture I made a jig to hold the drill and it works better. I do have a drill press but I like this better. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Klingspor sells both: Works great on flat or contour sanding. I like the 4" ones. http://www.woodworkingshop.com/category.aspx?id=25&f1=CONTOUR+SANDING+%26+SHAPING&f2=FLUTTER+SHEETS+%26+SANDING+MOPS I like the 2" x 7" ones of the Mac Mop. Really good for removing a lot of the "fussies" off the back of a picture. I found that they sand finer than the grits says, ie, the 180 grid sands as smooth as a piece of 220 grid sand paper. https://www.woodworkingshop.com/search.aspx?q=mac+sanding Both styles are very useful and last a long long time.

Rockytime Posted October 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks everyone. Klingspor is what I was looking for. I checked out the mac mop. Holy smokes, I decided it was outside my budget. My stuff could get by with a wire wheel on a six inch grinder. Klingspor is how I will go. Thanks again, Les OCtoolguy and JOE_M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I found that a little wire wheel on my Dremel works great to get in places a Mac Mop won't to remove fuzzies. I use it a lot. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) This is the one I bought from Klingspor. I bought one eight years ago and finally replaced it earlier this year. Only $40. http://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/mm07204/ Edited October 6, 2017 by Denny Knappen OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
