Default scotchbright big time saver

I have found a scotchbright belt to put on a hand held belt sander from MSC Industrial supply co. I had been hand filing the edges of the skins to remove roughness and now using the sander I am able to get it done in a tenth of the time. I clamp the skins on my work table with +- 1 inch overhang and keeping the sander flat to the edge, the edge maintains a straight edge. Be sure to reverse sander when you get to the end so it doesn't grab the point.

Default Which one?

Nice find, Ted. There are several options to choose from. Is the right one for our use perhaps this one?

Default which one

The one that I got is the non-woven 194. Does a great job. Had to trim the back of my sander as the belt is rather thick.
