cork drum sander, bad idea?

**souschefdude** · 10-03-2013, 01:10 AM

So hand sanding is killing my wrists. Dremel sanding is out of the question. So I thought, what if I make a drum sander out of a cork.?
So I wrapped a cork in double backed tape and applied a 1000 grit piece of SP. Made a mandrel out of a nail. Lowest speed on the dremel and bam!
Cleaned up an old wosty that was a throw away I had lying around. Only issue is the cork is too close to the bit I can only do one side of the blade face.
It will work on a reversible drill, and it will go slower too.
So, what say you?

There is another thread on using a reversible drill and sanding drums on here too, it works also...

Is that ToxIk 's thread Glen ? Couldn't find any pics linked to that one.
