[Woodcarver] split mandrels and sanding cones - again

[Gene and Darlene Bremmer]

Hi Vic

Well, the ones that I have are the Gugesanders (the cones) with the piece of sandpaper running across them as you described.  When I want to slide them on the mandrels, I just carefully line up the piece of sand paper with the slot in the mandrel.  They do not slide on very far, maybe only 3/8 of an inch or at most 1/2 inch but they do not come off when sanding.  Maybe you are thinking they should go on a long ways, I don't know.  Sorry I can't help more.  I am also sending this to you direct so you will see it sooner before the digest comes out.

  Hi Gang,

  Thanks for all your comments about the split mandrels and sanding cones 
  from my previous question.  Unfortunately, I immediately stopped 
  receiving the digest format each day so only saw your answers tonight 
  after getting the last few days of postings.

  What I have already is the split mandrel model M23 from Foredom, as well 
  as the spiral sanding cones in several grits.  What I can't do is mount 
  those sanding cones onto the split mandrel.  The sandpaper will not 
  slide easily into the slot of the mandrel.  No one really addressed how 
  they mount these sanding cones, can anyone help? (without waking 
  sleeping Big Dogs?? LOL!!

  Thanks much!!

  Vic H
