What do you do when you need to hand sand something on the job? If you are like me you grab an extra sanding belt from your electric belt sander, cut a piece of wood to length and width,  and then try to get a tight fit inside your belt. For a while now I have been thinking of how I could improve upon this method.

 

SandDevil - Hand sander using sanding belts

 

The SandDevil is the answer to all of my complaints, and is actually exactly what I was thinking of building myself. It works in the same way as a normal electric belt sander to hold the paper; using a locking lever to expand the sander against the belt. The SandDevil can use a standard 3 x 21" belts, and provides easy access to flat, curved and angled surfaces, including hard to reach corners and edges. 

Added this to my Christmas wish list :) 

You can pick up the SandDevil at Amazon for just under $20. This is actually an even better deal then is looks because it comes with five 3 x 21" sanding belts (50, 80, 100, 120 & 150 grit)

I found out about this because of a catalog I received today called A&H Abrasives. If you are in the market for sanding belts you might want to check them out. Their prices seem to be much lower then everywhere else I have seen. They even sell custom belt sizes.

Their website only shows some of the products they sell, but they do sell all types of sandpaper. Request a catalog to see more of their products.

This looks like a really good idea. I use sanding belts a lot to do hand sanding.
