Mop Sanders ?? - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

JB1911 · 06-13-2012, 05:15 PM

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Having never had the occasion to use a mop sander, I am not aware of the advantage-disadvantage between a double and single mop setup except for the obvious thickness. Any opinions?

The only difference is thickness and of course cost. I have single mops and they work just fine for puzzles and other projects.

I like the one's from RJR Studio's. I mainly do intarsia so I use the double wide.
They have been a godsend since they save a ton of hand sanding which saves my shoulder.

I use the double mop sanders from RJR's as well. They are refillable, work extremely well. Price isn't bad either, once you've purchased the mandrel.

There have been several discussions on this subject. Do a search on sanding mops and see what comes up. This is one what size sanding mop?

I preffer the Mac mops sold by klingspore.

I like the Mac mops, too.

Rolf convinced me to try the Mac mops and they are far better than any others I have tried. They may cost a little more but they just last and last.

Thank you all for the input. I purchased a 1" mop and am completely satisfied. The most important part is the break in procedure they suggest.Seems as though the more it's used, the better it works. Thank you all again.
