Are you sanding down 3D prints? Metal bar-stock or tubes? Wood? A DIY Sanding pad could make a great addition to your toolchest! When the surface you’re sanding is flat a hand sander or stick with sandpaper tacked in works just fine. But for situations where you’ll be working a rounded surface something more pliable…
