Faldoe Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have a Dremel Multi-Max tool that uses triangular sanding pads. Works great but an issue is that the pads are expensive. I figured I could make my own, granted I can find sand paper with a loop/fuzzy backing so it will stick/stay attached to the hook part of the sanding pad. I know there are orbital sanding pads, which are a potential option, but buying sheets of sand paper would be more cost effect as I could get more pads out of the sheets. Any links or information would be helpful, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETS7345 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Here are some options for H&L sandpaper as far as getting it in sheets or rolls. Its how I have always purchased my H&L. H&L is the only way to go when sanding. http://www.onlineindustrialsupply.com/holosaro.html http://www.grizzly.com/products/category/100080 http://www.tptools.com/Hook-and-Loop-Sandpaper-Rolls.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yea they really screw us over on anything multitool related the blades are insanely expensive also. I would do the same thing that's a nice bit of money your saving one of those rolls is a lifetime of sand paper for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you go to Wal-mart and buy a five pack of whatever grit of sandpaper. They are 8-12 bucks a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Multi tool accessories are a rip. I was cutting out part of a wood floor and burned through a bunch. I was only able to do so much with a circular saw and the areas that were close I had to use an oscillating tool with a wood blade. Man I felt like I was bend over every time I had to change blades.

Conductor562 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I only use my multi-tool when absolutely nothing else will do. My father in-law knows a guy that sharpens them with a diamond needle file. Not as good as a new blade, but it's good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I am trying to remember the name of the company who makes multi-tool blades, and they had a blade that cut through 235 16 penny nails before going dull.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The they must make some crazy ass profit on each blade sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I heard accessories are the bread and butter for tool companies and the outlets who sell them. 235 nails before they go dull, i would love to see that. That's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 They probably sell the power tool kits at cost or a very small profit. They really hope you but things like bare tools, extra batteries, and accessories that's where they make their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
