Bar Sander or Sanding Block and Sandpaper (coarse,
medium, fine grit)*
In our busy wor k shop we use the Great Planes
Easy-Touch Bar Sanders equipped with Great Planes
#80, #150 and #220-grit Easy-Touch Adhesive-Backed
Sandpaper. Great Planes Easy-Touch Bar Sanders are
made from lightweight, rigid, extruded aluminum and can
be found at most hobby shops.
They are available in three sizes–5-1/2" (GPMR6169) and
11" (GPMR6170) for most general purpose sanding and
22" (GPMR6172) for long surfaces such as wing leading
edges. The Easy–Touch Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper
comes in 2" x 12' rolls of 80-grit (GPMR6180), 150-grit
(GPMR6183), 220-grit (GPMR6185) and an assortment
pack of 5-1/2" long strips (GPMR6189) for the short Bar
Sander. The adhesive backed sandpaper is easy to apply
and remove from your sanding bar when it's time
for replacement.
This setup is all that is required for almost any sanding
task. Custom sanders can be made from balsa or
hardwood blocks and sticks for sanding difficult to reach
spots. We also keep some #320-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper
for finish sanding just before covering.
