Build Sanding Bats

Recommended Posts

I made up a sanding bat that works great. 

The bat is ½" MDF board with 60 grit sand paper. The sand paper  can be rinsed off and will work for a long time. I had some paper left from when I used to sand hardwood floors. You can usually buy a few sheets from a rental shop that rent the sanders. This is Very heavy duty stuff and comes in 8" or 10" width.  Glue it on with some spray contact cement.

The paper comes in sheets around 2 ft long or for the newer machines in belts that are cloth backed, either will work.

I find the best tool to cut the paper is a tin snip, a knife will work but it will dull it immediately.
