The developer of the ingenious SandDevil asked “Why not use
sanding belts for hand sanding,” and the SandDevil was born.
His work
requires intricate hand sanding to reduce rough cuts made by
large chisels and rasping tools. He’s found that standard
one-piece sanding blocks provide less than satisfactory
results.
After repeatedly
changing worn and torn sandpaper on a sanding block, he
thought, “there has to be a better way.” Since his work
sometimes requires the use of an electric sander, he knew
that sanding belts were more durable, lasting much longer
than sheet sandpaper. He has found that belts usually last
for months, whereas sandpaper will rip or wear out in
fifteen minutes.
He combined the belt form from an
electric sander with a hand-held tool and developed a hand
sander that’s become an essential toolbox component. “I’ve
found that standard 3” x 21” fabric-backed sanding belts are
the way to go.
