SAND AWAY YOUR WORRIES

- CLEM ECCLES BY EMAIL

Here are two extra jobs you can use your orbital sander for (I am referring to the popular 90 x 180 mm type).

First tip: use it to l sharpen knife and scissors blades. Hold the sander upside down with your left hand; run it, and use the right hand to sharpen a blade. Start with 150 grit and finish with 300 grit.

Second tip: remove the l sandpaper and use it as a massager. Simply press it hard against any part of your body you need to massage and run it. It works better than the purpose-built massager.
