Review on Versatile Assorted Abrasives for Furniture, Woodworkers, and Automotive Needs by Tom Duncan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Incredibly comfortable but not perfect

I have been sharpening a lot of wood and I always cut small strips of 120-600 grit sandpaper. I was keen to try this product as it saves a lot of time. The price is not bad, the sandpaper width is good for my job, the grit range is just right and the cutter works very well. The fabric backing is over the top for me. This makes it difficult to work with sandpaper; it is less flexible for grinding bends and cracks. I'm used to cutting 1/2" x 4" strips and stacking them in 1/4" increments when carrying or loading sandpaper, so it's a bit thick and stiff. The granularity seems rougher than advertised , although I get pretty good results with it. I usually work with silicon carbide so it takes a little getting used to. I would like the different grains to be permanently labeled on the back; once I've removed the strip from the dispenser I can't tell how great the granularity is I love this product but would have liked it a lot more without the fabric backing.

Pros
  • They also work with almost all materials and can be cut to the length you want.
Cons
  • Expensive
