camcool Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hey has anyone used the Craftsman 3-D sander I thought it looked like a nifty tool for sanding the back of the neck Plus it can sand flat surfaces too so I'm thinking of buying it to replace my junky palm sander The only problem with it that I see is you would have to buy lots of the special sand paper Craftsman 3-D sander QVC has some cheap craftsman tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 If you remember back to the Strat pictorial, I showed how we carved the back of the neck. Then, we used a 3D Sander to smooth it out. It works great for sanding it out, but the only problem I have seen is that the wheels have a tendancy to fall off sometimes. It's no big deal as they will press back in, but it can be a bit of a headache at times. Just keep the sander moving and you shouldn't lose your contour. You can also use it to clean up a guitar body carving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camcool Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 does it sand flat good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Yes, but it's made for contours though. If your talking about a longer flat surface a palm sander or orbital sander would be better and faster. The 3D sander is for areas you can't normally sand good. Convex, and concave surfaces.
