Sand-O-Flex

Is anyone using one of these?

Following- looks interesting.

No, but I use a Mac Mop from Klingspor a lot, almost the same thing.  I would not be without it.  Looks like you can change it out to brushes.  That would be great, I would think.

I had one of the original ones many years ago. It was meant to be mounted on a bench grinder shaft. I never did use it and it got sold in our estate sale before going out on the road. It was a neat and well made tool. @Scrappile, the brushes mount behind the sand paper and support tbe paper fingers.

I would love it if you would buy it and give us a review.

I do not, but I use do use a sanding mop similar to what Scrappile posted. However, I make my own. Much less expensive and very easy to make.

I have those, and they are good, but I prefer the Mac Mop.  I have it mounted on my lathe and I use it mainly to remove the fuzzies off of the back of  a scrolled, piece.   It does a great job, wow they cost $20 more now than when I  purchased the one I have.

I have a MacMop and a sanding mop, both from Klingspor. What I would like to see is someone who has the Sand-o-Flex and a MacMop and/or sanding mop and can compare them.

As Paul said, I also use the Mac Mop on almost every project.  It comes in several different grits.  Completely assembled for around $40.

Denny, yours must be about as old is mine.  That is around what I paid, Now they are over $60!

I have one.  I found it was a bit delicate for sanding.  Probably good in some situations.  But I usually prefer something a bit more aggressive.  So, I don't use it much.  I use sanding star/sanding mop similar to Gonzo's instead.

Paul do you mount it on a drill press then as well?

No, Mine is mounted on my wood lathe.  I want to mount it on a slow speed grinder I have, but it is too fast for me.  Some day I want to set it up to stacked pulleys so I have some control of the speed.  Got the parts, just have not taken the time.

It has a 1/4" shaft, so it would fit in that chuck.

I just looked them up and the price is $49.95.  They sometimes are on sale.
