71002 Abrasive Cleaning Stick for Sanding Belts & Discs 8-1/2" | Natural Rubber Eraser - Woodworking Shop Tools for Sanding Perfection

This product is a lifesaver or should I say a wallet saver. It is very compact an quickly cleans the sandpaper on my belt sander and orbital sanders with easy and in seconds!!! It has lasted quite a while now and does not look like it is going to wear out any time soon. Like I said it cleans the sandpaper very fast and is so easy to use. I have saved $$$ by not having to replace sandpaper as quickly as before

Bro, this is legit! Killed 3 bands in 40 mins trying to sand our deck before this. Used about 3 bands over the next 15 hours with this. Just use it frequently and dont let it get really gunked up. It'll clean the sandpaper but not remove the really caked on stuff. We used maybe 1/6 of this rubber stick with about 15 hours of sanding. It's a stupid good investment

I grabbed this to help with keeping the sandpaper on my belt sander clear of excess dust that would otherwise impede optimal sanding conditions when refinishing my deck. Taking a quick break every so often to clean the paper with these sticks speeds up your sanding, and you end up with a higher quality end product. These bars are pretty durable as well, they don’t need to use a ton of material to clean up the paper nicely, so they last for a while. I bought two thinking I would need a ton but they worked so well I still have a healthy piece of the first one left at the end of the job. I’ve found that if you’re not using a stationary belt sander, if you fit it closer to the bottom edge of your roller, it glides back and forth much smoother than it would if you tried to press it against the center (might be common knowledge, but I don’t use a belt sander often so figured it might be useful for others!). Glad I bought this, it made the job a lot faster and I didn’t waste extra paper that still had a lot of life in it!

I’ve purchased two of these over the years so can’t comment as to whether this brand is better than another, although I believe they are all very similar. I still have about half of the block left that I bought a few years ago, so they last pretty long, depending on how often you use it, and removes the embedded wood dust pretty quickly as it should.

I was saprize at how will it worked at pulling out grite and cleaning the balt.

Works great,

I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these. Works great on my random orbital sander. I use to throw away clogged sand paper (especially when sanding poly). Now I can hit this with the sander running and it cleans it right up. Great item and great price.

Der Reinigungsstab funktioniert tadellos. Über die Standzeit des Teils kann ich noch nicht viel sagen. Da die Anschaffung nicht billig ist, lohnt sich der Einsatz wohl eher für hochwertige Schleifbänder.

I was fed up of throwing away sand paper that had clodded up, and after seeing this on a YouTube video I purchased one from amazon, it's a game changer, especially if you use a belt sander.

Ottimo articolo, ottimizza al massimo la vita dei dischi/nastri abrasivi!

Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est !

Great product to extend the life of your sanding belts!
