EASY-TOUCH ™ BAR SANDER
A flat, durable, easy to handle sanding tool is a necessity for
building a well finished model. Great Planes makes a
complete range of Easy-Touch Bar Sanders and replaceable
Easy-Touch Adhesive-backed Sandpaper. While building the
Patriot XL, two 5-1/2" [140mm] Bar Sanders and two 11"
[280mm] Bar Sanders equipped with 80-grit and 150-grit
Adhesive-Backed Sandpaper were used.
Here’s the complete list of Easy-Touch Bar Sanders and
Adhesive Backed Sandpaper:
5-1/2" Bar Sander (GPMR6169)
11" Bar Sander (GPMR6170)
22" Bar Sander (GPMR6172)
33" Bar Sander (GPMR6174)
44" Bar Sander (GPMR6176)
11" Contour Multi-Sander (GPMR6190)
12' roll Adhesive-backed 80-grit sandpaper (GPMR6180)
150-grit (GPMR6183)
180-grit (GPMR6184)
220-grit (GPMR6185)
Assortment pack of 5-1/2" strips (GPMR6189)
We also use Top Flite 320-grit (TOPR8030, 4 sheets) and
400-grit (TOPR8032, 4 sheets) wet-or-dry sandpaper for
finish sanding.
• There are two types of screws used in this kit:
Sheet metal screws are designated by a number and a length.
For example #6 x 3/4"
This is a number six screw that is 3/4" long.
Machine screws are designated by a number, threads
per inch, and a length. SHCS is just an abbreviation for
“socket head cap screw” and that is a machine screw with a
socket head.
For example 4-40 x 3/4".
This is a number four screw that is 3/4" long
with forty threads per inch.
• When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
• Photos and sketches are placed before the step they
refer to. Frequently you can study photos in following steps
to get another view of the same parts.
• Not all die-cut parts have a name, or their complete name
stamped on them, so refer to the die drawings for identification.
When it’s time to remove the parts from their die sheets, if they
are difficult to remove, do not force them out. Instead, use a
sharp #11 blade to carefully cut the part from the sheet and
then lightly sand the edges to remove any slivers or
irregularities. Save some of the larger scraps of wood.
