Saw these on a US site to replace the blade with a sander. Never seen them for sale before
Thought they may be of interest to some.

Hi Brian
Personally I don't think there is any need to sand scroll saw cuts, the blade moves so fast it leaves the surface like glass anyway.
Still, someone might find them useful.
Thanks for sharing

I made my own a few years back now, but rarely use them, I find a polishing brush in a drill press removes all fuzzes very quickly and leave a very smooth finish.

To make, save an old blade the thicker the better, say a number 12, glue a lolly/craft stick either side of blade, like making a sandwich, fix with adhesive the grade sand paper of your choice to the sticks, job done, works well.

Don’t try using nail/manicure sticks, as a couple or so strokes and they are finished, been there done it. :roll:

Take care.
