Sander - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Some people don't need to sand their wood after cutting with their scrollsaw but I am not one of them.This may be old to some but I made a sander for my Dremel with a cotter pin with sandpaper wrapped around it.I cut the paper as wide as the thickness of whatever I am sanding and I put the paper between the legs of the pin then put the pin in the chuck.When the chuck is tightened it will hold the paper in place.I use a Dremel drill press and move the wood around the sander.I made a 1/8" and a 1/4" for my larger rotary tool.Tony
edit.The eye of the pin is below the wood in the hole in the table.
