Dois être utilisé avec du papier de qualité mais pas trop rigide

J ai acheter ça pour sabler des moulures et c est super

I bought these mostly for the outside roundover profiles to clean up after my router bit, and I don't like them. I've found it difficult to use without sanding lines into the connecting faces, even with very fine paper, and not much easier on the hands than just holding the sandpaper, which also uses the paper much more evenly. I gave up pretty quickly. I gave it three stars because maybe it's a matter of technique... or maybe the inside round profiles are brilliant for what they do. I'll keep them around, maybe they'll solve another problem for me one day.

This set is far and away the best tool I have found for renovating very curvy, antique woodwork. The kit contains every shape and size to reach all of the woodwork's ins and outs. The intelligently sized blocks fit neatly in your hand and are much less awkward than a power tool. They make miserly use of sand paper because You Can use strips (cut from a sheet or pre-cut for sand blocks), moving each strip along an inch at a time as the paper wears out; there is no waste. And who Can argue with the price?!?! Kudos to the minimalist engineers, manufacturers and distributors.

I do traditional hand-tool woodworking, and I consider these sanding pads essential for anyone who cuts their own molding, or in my case, simple beading. I am making tongue and grooved (matched) boards for the bottom of a large pine chest. Traditionally, matched boards are decorated with a bead molding beside the tongue to essentially hide the imminent gaps that will form from wood movement. It was my first time cutting such a joint on a real project, so I cut a test piece first, which turned out perfectly. The tongue and grooves turned out fine on the final piece as well, but unlike my test piece, a few of my boards had some reversing grain, which my beading plane (a well-tuned Stanley no. 50) was forced to cut against. The beading on several of my boards turned out horribly torn-out and ragged. No amount of planing could fix the problem because the fence on pretty much all beading planes only allows you to work in one direction, which in these few cases was against the grain. I just about lost sleep over how poorly the beads turned out, until the next day when I was sanding the face of each board to prepare them for finishing, I remembered I had ordered these a few months ago! Even though my beads were 3/16", and the smallest round-over sanding pad is 1/4", it still worked wonderfully. In order to sand the deepest part of the bead, however, I had to use sandpaper wrapped around an old ID card. I have included a picture showing one of the formerly mangled beadings. You can still see a tiny bit of tear-out on the edges, but I can live with that! Sometimes you just have to go against the grain, and these sanding pads really helped me out!
