<DIV><FONT size=2>I have some Guge sanders that are like that and they work just

href="http://cafepress.com/woodcarving">http://cafepress.com/woodcarving</A><BR><BR><BR>For
the power carvers out there.......<BR><BR>I have some tapered sanding points
that have a hollow center with a bit <BR>of sandpaper crossing the center of
the hole. This would seem to need a <BR>split mandrel that fits the size
of the hole and the paper slips into <BR>the slot on the mandrel. Once
power is applied, it locks together to <BR>sand without slipping.<BR><BR>My
question is, how do you slide the split mandrel into the hole and get <BR>the
sandpaper flap inside to slip into the slot? I have some 120 grit
<BR>sanding points that don't want to slip into the split for me. I
haven't <BR>tried finer grits, but am guessing they will be equally
challenging.<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>Vic
