Default WoodSmith Tip

Nice, but I've got 2 of this one:

http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/200...eapon-Sanding-
Block.aspx

and it's the best I've ever used.


And I have several, with each one having its own differing grit paper on
it. For almost free.

Take a piece of wood, and rip it the width of your favorite belt sander.
Make it thinner, to 1/2" or leave it 3/4" Your choice. Cut the block the
length that the sandpaper will just fit on, after you round over the nose of
each end, or leave one end pretty square for getting into inside corners.
Slip your new or lightly used belts onto the block, then slip a 1/2" or 3/4"
block between the paper and the block, cut about a third of the length of
the block, to tighten up the belt and act as more of a handle.

When part of the paper gets loaded up or worn out, take out the tightening
block and rotate the belt around and you have a newly loaded block.

Works great. Almost free. I like almost free, and I get a second use from
belts.
