I thought maybe Chris Pile, but I was sure someone on the OLF makes these. I recently started doing my neck "carving" using my oscillating spindle sander and a palm sander, but can't quite get the access I need at the heel. Anyone know where I can buy one (I see that Grizzly sells the pneumatic version but that's not what I'd prefer). Thanks, Beth |

I use this : http://store.razertip.com/miva5/merchan ... gory_Code= I bought both the coarse and fine but I find I use only the fine. It's better to have a reversible drill so that the carving action is the same on each side of the heel. I find it works extremely well. Attachment: N~089.jpg

Thanks for the replies, Charlton and Michael! Sorry, it was Chris Paulick that was making them (aka rolling pin sander). Anyone here selling them? |

That is a good technique. I've been using hand held drill sanding drums to shape the heel and neck/heel transition almost since day one. Discovering the pneumatic Grizzly devices was a big step forward. I have the large and small drums and for me they work great. Much more control than the simple drum on the drill. http://www.grizzly.com/products/4-x-1-1 ... ders/H2881 I tried them for leveling sides, not rigid enough and tough to control. Even the rigid rolling pin would give me concern and could give dips but I've never tried it. Maybe it works great. I am happy just using a hard flat wood sanding block and a firm circular one for the waist and cutaway areas to level sides. |

Beth, I use a rasp fiting in my flexible shaft carving tool - similar approach to Michael. But it occurred to me, that if I wanted to make a hand held drill sander such as in the video, I have some ball bearings readily available. Old bearings that my son used in his roller blade hockey skates. The bearings in the wheels need to be replaced periodically, so if you start looking for bearings you might want to check your in-line skates or ask a friend for some discards. Just a thought. |

Hi Terence, What capacity compressor do you need for use with that pneumatic sander? I just thought it would be less complicated and less noisy to use the rolling pin kind with a hand drill, but I can see it would be cool not to have to hold the drill, which is a benefit of the Grizzly outfit. Thanks for the info! Beth |

Actually Beth the grizzly version works in a drill and is meant for that. The pneumatic designation is for the fact that you can inflate the sanding drum to hold the sanding sleeve. As for air sander the bigger the compressor the better. Pancake type won't cut it and even twenty gallon tanks need to constantly kick on. My buddy use an 80 gallon tank for his sanding equipment in his auto garage. This grizzly tool works if you just chuck it in a hand drill corded or cordless....Mike http://www.grizzly.com/products/4-x-1-1 ... ders/H2881 |

Yup they fit in your hand drill and can be inflated with a hand pump if you don't have a compressor. PSI is pretty low. 10-20. The nice thing is you have two handed control, one on the drill, the other on the handle. |

Charlton, thanks for the video link. He has made a very simple and useful hand held sanding drum. I bookmarked it. |

Maybe this was the one you were thinking of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMXZe2B_NGE I remember back when I first saw this. That Chris is a clever guy. I wish I had one of these for my least fave job, levelling sides. I think I'll put it on my "to make" list. |
