Dremel Multi Max - part 2 - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

scrollsaw4u · 10-31-2009, 04:49 AM

Found it - Bought it - LOVE IT!!

Only thing I don't like is that I can't seem to find sand paper for it other than one to remove paint (wont ever use that one) and one for "wood"...but came up with an idea...

I had a couple of unused pads for the B&D mouse - cut them down (you get two pads for the MM out of one pad for the B&D). These pads can be bought in different grits...LOVE IT

So, I agree with Bob D...it is a nice addition. Easy on the hands and arms (and since I have carpel tunnel and tendonitis - that is a BIG plus for me) and the vibration is nothing compared to the other sanders I have.

Not sure I will ever use the other options on it...but always nice to say I have a tool that can do the other things it does (I have children who are always asking if I have something that would do......)

At the risk of sounding real dumb, what exactly is "I had a couple of unused pads for the B&D mouse - cut them down (you get two pads for the MM out of one pad for the B&D). These pads can be bought in different grits..."? B&D (Black & Decker?)

sorry Headkeep - not a stupid question (those don't exist)..just me trying to type fast

Yes - B&D = Black and decker - - MM = multi max. Both of these sanders use a velcro type sanding pad. So I took one of the pads for my black and decker mouse and cut it down to use for the dremel multi max.
