On our workbench, we have three 11" Great Planes
Easy-Touch Bar Sanders, equipped with 80, 150 and
220-grit sandpaper. This setup is all that is required
for almost any sanding task. We also keep some
320-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper handy for finish sanding
before covering.
Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are made from
lightweight extruded aluminum and can be found at most
hobby shops. They are available in five sizes – 5-1/2"
(GPMR6169) for those tight, hard-to-reach spots;
11" (GPMR6170) for most general purpose sanding; and
22" (GPMR6172), 33" (GPMR6174) and 44" (GPMR6176)
for long surfaces such as wing leading edges. The
Easy-Touch Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper comes in
2" x 12' rolls of 80-grit (GPMR6180), 150-grit (GPMR6183),
180-grit (GPMR6184) and 220-grit (GPMR6185) and an
assortment of 5-1/2" long strips (GPMR6189) for the short
bar sander. The adhesive-backed sandpaper is easy to
apply and remove from your sanding bar when it’s time
for replacement.
Custom sanding blocks can be made from balsa or
hardwood blocks and sticks for sanding difficult or hard to
reach spots.
