jer7440 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Doesn't seem like it would work so well on curvey surfaces. Maybe i'm wrong. Looks great for everything else though. Quote
Jehle Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 That looks like it would be fantastic for getting a smooth surface fast. I need to bookmark that site. Thanks! Quote

javacody Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 I Must Have Those! Thanks for the link, its definitely going to del.icio.us. Quote
jmrentis Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 Seems like a cheese grater. Might be a good idea though, but like jer7440 said it's probably not so good on curvey area, like around the horns on an electric. But let us know, it might work really well when starting from a rough cut instead of trying to use regular sand paper or planer. Thanks for the info, I always am interested in new technology.

GregP Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 I really like my Microplane rasp(s). Let us know how the "sandpaper" is! Greg Quote
bigdguitars Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 Well I got the first set in. The family pack, a coarse, med, and fine. Wow the coarse was almost too aggressive, wanted to jump off the wood. I tried to use it on a maple burl and it left off. Went to the med and works really really nice. I have a piece of flamed maple that had drum sander sanding marks and took those off in about 2 3 mins... where as the 60 grit reg sand paper would take 10mins or so. I used the fine and seemed to work ok. I only really played around do to garbage night here at home but seems pretty wicked. There is a learning curve to this stuff. Its not a stick on and sand. You have to apply very light pressure and just guide the sander not push down like with regular paper. my 2cents... Quote
